The body of a 15 year old youth of Arab origin was found at the side of the road between Nueva Andalucía, Marbella, and the town of Ronda.
The gruesome discovery was made at around 10:00 on Monday. The body showed signs of violence with injuries to the left side of the neck and face consistent with a shotgun wound.
The lack of blood at the scene suggests that the youth, 15 year old T.A., was killed elsewhere and the body dumped at the side of the road at a later time.
The corpse is now at the Hospital Clínico in Málaga for forensic and radiological tests to determine the exact cause of death. At the moment, police have no clues as to the motive for the killing.
