Emergency responders arrived at the scene first thing on Wednesday when a body was recovered from a well in Jumilla, located in Murcia. Members from the Underwater Activities Expert Group (GEAS) and the Montaña de la Benemérita rescue unit continue the search operation, working to recover the deceased and secure the area as the investigation unfolds.
City hall spokespeople indicate that the deceased appears to be a Black man. Authorities are reviewing the possibility that the identity may be connected to Diakina Fofana, a missing individual reported on September 2, though confirmation awaits formal procedures and the autopsy findings.
Initial observations note that the victim, a 43-year-old man, had a vehicle registered on a municipal street. Documents linked to the case were found in Hellín, located in Albacete. At present, confirmation of any linkage requires the autopsy and the ongoing forensic review.
The situation in Murcia, as described by regional media, suggests the possibility that this death may not have occurred under natural circumstances. Investigators are pursuing all leads as more details emerge from the scene and from the surrounding area.
Authorities report that a suspect has been detained in connection with the case. People close to the inquiry indicate that the suspect may have confessed and pointed investigators toward the location of the well. The site had been guarded by two civilian guards since late Tuesday night when it was initially discovered, and the ongoing search continues to determine the events that led to the victim’s death.
