Holiday horror as five bodies with shackled hands and feet wash up on beach at tourist hotspot
BALEARIC ISLANDS, JUN 23 – At least five migrant bodies with hands and feet tied were found near Majorca, prompting a homicide investigation amid rising irregular crossings from Algeria, officials said.
The Civil Guard has retrieved at least five bodies from the Balearic Sea off Majorca, which are thought to be migrants attempting to cross from Algeria to Spain.
In the last six months, around 30 bodies have been found on Balearic beaches, raising concerns about migrant safety.
Authorities believe the victims may have been murdered, suggesting they were handcuffed before being thrown into the sea.
A major investigation has been launched into the circumstances surrounding these bodies.
A total of five deaths were reported to have been found outside Mallorca and some neighboring islands in recent weeks, the police investigating murder.
The bodies of at least five migrants have been found off the coast of the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea in the past month. Their hands and feet were tied. The judicial police of the Guardia Civil of Ibiza are currently investigating the case.
