Macabre find in Son Banya

An agricultural labourer working near Son Banya on the evening of April 3 noticed that the motor mower he was using had come up against an unseen obstacle. After a closer inspection of the ground revealed the body of an adult man in an advanced state of decomposition, the worker informed the Policia Naciona of his find.

Examination of the body revealed documentation belonging to 27-year-old Juan Carlos Fayos Flores who had been missing from his Molinar home since February 3.

Sources said that an initial examination suggested the man must have died at least one month ago and police now await DNA and autopsy results to confirm the identity of Fayos Flores and determine the cause of death.
