The tranquil environment of the coast in Arico, between La Jaca and Las Listadas, in Tenerife, was disrupted last Saturday after the discovery of a woman’s body parts floating in the sea. This macabre find has triggered a complex investigation led by the Civil Guard.
According to sources from the newspaper EL DÍA, a local fisherman was the first to notice the human remains in the water and alerted the authorities. Investigators found the woman’s torso, notably without hands and with the head wrapped in a plastic bag, immediately suggesting the possibility of a crime.
The Civil Guard, with the collaboration of the Forensic Medical Institute of Tenerife, is conducting exhaustive analyses of the body fragments. The advanced state of decomposition of the remains has complicated the tasks of identification and determining the timeline of events leading to the woman’s death.
Hypotheses and Forensic Analysis

Investigators are considering various hypotheses about the causes of death and the dismemberment of the body. One possibility is that the body damage occurred post-mortem due to marine fauna. However, the nature of the injuries and the presence of the bag over the head could indicate direct human intervention before the body was deposited in the sea.
The duty magistrate has imposed a secrecy order on the case, underscoring the gravity and sensitivity of the ongoing investigation. Agents from the Organic Unit of Judicial Police and the Territorial Team of the Judicial Police of Southern Tenerife continue to meticulously work in the discovery area to collect all possible evidence that may help clarify this disturbing incident.
