The Civil Guard has arrested two men for their involvement in the death of a couple in Sorvillán (524 inhabitants, Granada), according to the Government delegate in Andalusia, Pablo Fernández.
The investigation is ongoing and new arrests are not ruled out, according to the same source.
The deceased are a 61-year-old man and his partner, a 47-year-old woman who was a PP councilor in the neighboring town of Gualchos-Castell de Ferro between 2015 and 2019. Their bodies were found this Thursday in a ravine in Los Yesos, Annex of the Granada coastal town of Sorvilán this Thursday.
Judge Irene Navarrete Cánova, head of the Court of Instruction 1 of Motril, has decreed this Friday the secrecy of the case.
The ravine in which the bodies were found is near the farmhouse where they both lived.
Sources of the investigation had ruled out, before the summary secrecy was decreed, that the case had any relation to gender violence.
On Thursday afternoon, the day the bodies were found, the priority line of investigation linked the deaths to a drug settlement.
The deceased has been identified as JAV, nicknamed the Lion King, whom he is related to the trafficking and plantation of hemp, according to Efe.
The bodies were transferred to the Forensic Anatomical Institute, where an autopsy was performed.
The investigation began in the early hours of yesterday morning, when the Civil Guard received a call from the daughter of the deceased man reporting the disappearance of the couple and the discovery of her father's vehicle at the exit of Castell de Ferro de la A-7 motorway, near the home, with traces of blood.
A few hours later, the agents found the two bodies in the ravine.
The investigation is now also focused on knowing if the death of the deceased, who were semi-naked and showed signs of violent death, took place in the place where they appeared or were transferred there.
