'Operation Breaking Bad': Drug-debt murder victim's body dissolved in chemicals
27/05/2017
A GRUESOME drug-debt crime in a town near Madrid has been dubbed 'Operation Breaking Bad' due to its similarities with the cult TV show – the victim's body was dissolved in a barrel of chemicals to hide the evidence.
The victim, who has not been named, was reported missing by his family in Parla (Madrid) in September 2015, and police discovered he had been summoned to a house in Illescas (Toledo province) on the same day.
He had been lured into the garage under false pretences, then shot three times.
The killer buried him in the garden at first after hiding him for several days in a freezer, then several months later, dug him up and put his body in a barrel filled with ammonia, acid and caustic soda.
Earlier in 2017, investigators uncovered new information pointing to the victim being in debt to drug-dealers.
Now, after finding the deceased's clothing, an axe and one of his bones still buried in the garden, police from Parla arrested three men in connection with the high-profile crime.
Nothing else remains of the dead man's body.
This is the first known case of its kind in Spain.
