The badly decomposed body of a man found in a ditch opposite the feria ground on the Camino de las Cruces in Jaén on Tuesday morning was a resident of Jaén and early indications are that he died a violent death.
The body was found at 08:45 in an area known locally as the Carretera del Butano and was so badly decomposed that it was at first not possible to determine the sex of the victim.
Forensic experts have been examining the areas for clues as to the circumstances surrounding the death.
