On Thursday evening at around 18:30, workmen cleaning the riverbed in Alcaucín discovered a half buried corpse in the middle of the channel, only a hand and leg visible.
The Guardia Civil were informed and arrived on the scene to investigate. The corpse, reduced to a skeleton, has obviously been buried in the channel for several months.
At the moment it is not known whether the skeleton is male or female or whether there are any signs of violence.
