THE ex-boyfriend of a 19-year-old girl found dead a week after her disappearance has been taken in for questioning.

Laura Alonso’s body was found on Saturday in the mountains near Toén (Ourense) where she lived.

She had gone out with friends the previous Saturday night and never returned home.

Her former boyfriend, J.C.G., 32, has been arrested in connection with her death, which police are treating as murder.

Last night, a demonstration took place in the Galicia villages of A Xestosa, where Laura was born, and continued on to Toén town hall.

Friends and family members who joined the march, seen in the photograph, in tribute to the young lady expressed their repulsion over her murder.

Toén’s mayor says the ‘full weight of the law’ and the ‘maximum sentence’ will fall on the person found to be responsible for Laura’s death.
