30 year old local man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a 49 year old woman from the United States in Sevilla. She was reported missing on September 4 and her body was recovered from the Guadalquivir River by National Police in the city on Tuesday.

The detained man has been named with the initials A.G.S. and is said to be in the victim’s circle of friends. His home was searched on Monday afternoon and the Scientific Police have found ‘sufficient reason’ to consider ‘he took part in the death of the woman’. Later reports indicate that he has confessed to the crime.

A police search of the part of the river indicated by the man, by the Puente de las Delicias, resulted in the head and an arm of the victim being found inside a bag, along with some of her personal effects.

The man continues in police custody as questioning continues. They consider he killed her in his home in the Tiro de Línea area of the city, broke up the body, and put it into a suitcase and plastic bag which he later threw in the river.
