Bulgarian man, 47, allegedly ‘beats Spanish wife to death and dumps her body near petrol station’ in Spain’s Marbella
A BULGARIAN man, 47, went to the Policia Nacional in Marbella on Saturday to confess that he had killed his wife.
The body of a 53-year-old Spanish woman- named as Pilar- was found in a field that day, next to a petrol station on Calle Velez.
She had reportedly been beaten to death with no weapon or object involved in the brutal assault.

A petrol station employee who saw the body told the EFE news agency: ”It was very unpleasant. I had never seen anything like it,” adding that the image will be ‘forever’ engrained in their mind.
The attack happened in daylight on Saturday morning with the area cordoned off at around 1.30pm.
The El Mundo newspaper spoke to people who knew the couple and one said they regularly argued and that he ‘beat her’.
It revealed that on Friday they had a disagreement with a car park valet close to where her body was found with police called to calm things down.
It is not known how long the couple had been in the area and they appeared not to have had a fixed address.
El Mundo reported they spent the night sleeping in a blue Opal car and worked during the day acting as car park valets to earn a little money.
If confirmed, it would be the second gender violence murder in Malaga province this year, following the February killing of a mother-of -three called Lina in front of their children.

Weather alert across Spain: Andalucia to be roiled by 40C heat and storms – these are the affected areas
ANDALUCIA is bracing for a spell of intense heat and thunderstorms today and tomorrow, with the Spanish weather agency AEMET issuing an orange alert across parts of the region.
The warning, the second-highest level in Spain’s weather alert system, signals the danger from soaring temperatures and stormy conditions, effective from Tuesday through Wednesday, June 18.
Maps released by AEMET_Andalucía late yesterday show several areas highlighted in orange, indicating the most severe warnings.
These include parts of the interior provinces such as Jaen, Cordoba, and Seville, where the heat is expected to peak around 40C, alongside northern regions like Granada and potentially parts of Malaga’s higher ground.

Yellow alerts, suggesting a lower but still notable risk, extend to coastal zones and other inland areas, covering much of the region’s diverse landscape from the Sierra Nevada to the Guadalquivir Valley.
Cloud may develop in inland regions in the afternoon, bringing with it with scattered showers and thunderstorms.
Away from Andalucia, the highest temperatures of 35-37C will be in Aragon, La Mancha, inland Valencia, and Murcia, as well as in mountainous areas, with hail and wind. Very hot.
The orange alert comes as an unusual shift for mid-June, a time when Andalucia typically enjoys warm, sunny weather typical of its Mediterranean climate.
However, with temperatures forecast to climb and thunderstorms brewing, residents and visitors are advised to stay informed.

For those planning outdoor activities or travel, the combination of extreme heat and potential storms could disrupt plans, particularly in the affected inland areas where the alert is most pronounced.
AEMET’s warnings are updated regularly, and with the alert active as of this morning, locals and expatriates alike are keeping a close eye on the skies.
THOSE calling the Costa del Sol home are some of the biggest producers of waste in all of Andalucia.
Alongside residents of Gibraltar, Costa del Sol residents are throwing away more than 575 kgs of waste per capita each year.
Mijas, Fuengirola and Marbella are the worst culprits, producing more than 730 kgs of waste.

Following close behind are Torremolinos , Manilva , Casares , Benahavís , Estepona , Istán and Benalmádena, which all produce more than 700 kgs of waste per capita annually.
This information is sourced from Andalucia’s Institute of Statistics and Cartography from 2022. Overall, the amount of urban waste produced in Andalusia has a whole decreased by 14.8 kgs compared to 2021.
Malaga province had been decreasing in terms of waste it produced each year, but actually increased again between 2021 and 2022.
