Binmen Discover Crushed Body of Spanish Mayor's Ex-Husband in Garbage Bin

On October 21, 2025, binmen in a Costa holiday resort city made a gruesome discovery as they were emptying wheelie bins – the crushed body of the ex-husband of a Spanish mayor. The victim has been identified as 45-year-old businessman Vicente Dominguez, who was reportedly well-known to local police.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the disturbing incident, with initial reports suggesting the possibility of a "settling of scores" related to a drug dispute. However, no official confirmation has been provided yet. Detectives are examining CCTV footage and questioning witnesses to try to establish who abandoned the victim, who was apparently still alive but critically injured, in the wheelie bin.

The tragic incident has echoes of previous cases in Spain, including the death of a 24-year-old woman who was crushed in a rubbish container in Majorca last year, and the discovery of a mutilated body in a waste container in Barcelona earlier this year. The investigation into the latest grim discovery is ongoing, and the cause of Dominguez's death has not yet been officially revealed.
