A woman whose dismembered body was found on a tourist beach in Gran Canaria has been pictured.
Colombian national Triana Arias, 41, was stabbed in the neck before the killer tried to dismember her body.
Ms Arias had texted a friend to say she was going to a party but was not seen alive after that, according to police.
Her body was later found by a member of the public on Enanos Beach in San Andrés on April 27, after an attempt was made to dispose of it elsewhere.
Part of Arias’ neck was cut off, and police believe she was unconscious and bleeding to death as the killer tried to dismember her legs.
Police arrested a bar owner in Las Palmas on suspicion of murder on Tuesday.
His bar was also cordoned off, with an armed guard stationed outside as law enforcement searched the business, according to The Sun.
Forensic experts from the Las Palmas Institute of Forensic Medicine (IML) conducted preliminary investigations at the scene before carrying out an autopsy.
Locals were left ‘shocked and concerned’ by the incident, according to Spanish news outlet Canarias7.
Police have not ruled out additional arrests as the investigation is ongoing.
The bar owner was expected to appear in court by Thursday.
