Authorities from Mossos d’Esquadra announced the arrest of a man connected to the death of a 25-year-old woman found along a roadway in Móra la Nova, Tarragona. Local sources indicate the suspect is a 24-year-old resident of Mora d’Ebre, described as a foreign national. Investigators have not ruled out the possibility of a gender-based crime, though there is no established record of a prior emotional relationship between the suspect and the victim, which makes that scenario less likely as the inquiry unfolds.
The victim’s family reported her absence on the prior Wednesday evening after she did not return from her shift. Her body, showing signs of violence, was discovered by a resident on the shoulder of the N-420 near Móra la Nova. The case has drawn attention from regional law enforcement as they piece together the circumstances that led to this tragedy.

The Criminal Investigation Division of Mossos d’Esquadra in the Terres de l’Ebre region assumed lead responsibility for the case, and interviews with the person close to the victim followed on Thursday. Within hours of the discovery, a 24-year-old Mora d’Ebre resident underwent questioning and was taken into custody as part of the ongoing inquiry. The probe, coordinated through the Falset court, remains active and open, with officials indicating that investigators are still in early stages.
Newspaper reports indicate the victim, Marina, was employed in a facility that cares for the elderly. She completed her shift on the day of her disappearance but did not return home. Her family, alarmed by the sudden absence, went to the Mossos station that night to report her missing.
When the lifeless body was located along the N-420 highway this morning, speculation about the identity of the deceased intensified. Police sources, however, did not confirm the victim’s identity until after forensic verification by the scientific police had been completed. The timeline remains under review as authorities continue to verify details and gather evidence.
