Son Accused of Murdering, Dismembering Mother in Another Country, Leaving Body in Landfill
Police arrested the woman’s 22-year-old son as investigators awaited an autopsy to determine how she died.
- On Friday, police discovered the dismembered body of 56-year-old Belgian expat Katty Oosterlinck at the Zurita waste processing facility in Fuerteventura, Spain, four days after her family reported her missing on May 4.
- The Spanish Guardia Civil's Judicial Police arrested Oosterlinck's 22-year-old son on suspicion of murder the same afternoon, while authorities transferred her body to the Institute of Legal Medicine of Las Palmas for autopsy examination.
- Officers visited Oosterlinck's home in Corralejo and other locations during a day-long investigation, reportedly reconstructing events surrounding the alleged murder though authorities have withheld exact circumstances.
- Spain's expat community has been shaken by the incident, which follows the discovery of a dismembered Colombian woman's body on a Gran Canaria beach last year, as many residents tracked the search closely.
- Further information regarding the investigation is expected following the victim's autopsy, with the suspect's name remaining undisclosed as authorities continue processing evidence.
