Body of German woman found in ravine in Gran Canaria; possible homicide under investigation
In mid-August, local passers-by discovered the lifeless body of a woman in the Cañada de los Gatos ravine in Mogán, in southern Gran Canaria. The discovery took place on 16 August. Investigators are treating the case as a possible violent crime, according to a report by Iltalehti (https://www.iltalehti.fi/ulkomaat/a/84cafccb-ac61-45a0-b09c-20d178ccc9fc).
A stone was found on the head of the deceased, and she had serious head injuries. These indications led to the suspicion that the death was not the result of an accident.
On Saturday, the authorities confirmed the identity of the victim: a 61-year-old German citizen who was living in Gran Canaria. Her family owns a property on the island. However, it is noted that she had recently been living in a tent or temporary shelter located very close to the place where her body was found.
At this time, the competent authorities are attempting to reconstruct the woman's final movements and clarify the circumstances surrounding her death.
