There are crimes that remain unsolved for years and some hidden. This is the case of a woman who was missing for eight years. He had been in prison for three years for a crime against public health. In the same Tenerife II penitentiary, his partner was also serving a sentence for a crime of injuries. After getting out of jail, they resumed the relationship. Everything seemed to be going well. They lived in a pension and the man lived on the non-contributory pension that his partner received. However, in April 2009, she decided to end their relationship. Since then the trail has been lost. The daughter, not receiving news from her mother, reported the disappearance to the Police. The search was unsuccessful. Everything seemed that it was going to remain as one more disappearance, of the hundred that are registered in the Archipelago, until July 7, 2016. That day, torrential rains made the Santos ravine run in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. A couple walking their dog discovered a body half buried in a prison bag.
The Judicial Police did not take long to arrest the victim’s partner and solve the crime committed eight years earlier. On that night in July 2009, the murderer and his victim were in a pension and it was there that the woman, who had a degree of disability of 90 percent, informed him that she had terminated the relationship. According to the classification of the Prosecutor’s Office, to which the SER has had access, the accused beat up and strangled the woman, causing her death. After committing the murder, he cleaned up the scene and even took a photo of the body with his mobile phone that he kept in one of the mats provided by the Penitentiary Center and buried it in a cave in the ravine. Therefore, the prosecutor considers the accused as the author of a crime of murder with aggravated treachery, cruelty and kinship and requests the penalty of 25 years in prison and the payment of 300,000 euros to the heirs of the victim as civil liability .
