A Google Maps image has revealed the murder, driven by jealousy, of a Cuban man in a remote village in Soria. The man came from Cuba in 2023 searching for his wife, also Cuban, who lived in the region of Berlanga de Duero in Soria. The traveler disappeared without a trace, and now, after a year-long investigation, the National Police have managed to arrest the alleged killers: the victim’s wife and her lover from Soria, known by the nickname el Lobo de Tajueco. The agents discovered parts of the victim’s dismembered body in the cemetery of the village of Andaluz, in the same region of Soria.
The events date back to over a year ago, when in November 2023, the victim’s brother filed a missing persons report with the National Police. The missing man, a Cuban in his 40s, had come to Spain searching for his wife and vanished without a trace. However, a few months ago, investigators found an image on Google Maps, specifically Google Street View, which showed a Spanish man from Tajueco, known as el Lobo de Tajueco.
After a lengthy investigation, police reviewed thousands of images from Google Maps and found a particularly revealing one: an image of a man placing a large white plastic bag, shaped like a body, into the trunk of a red car. The image had been taken on Norte Street in the village of Tajueco.
Phone Taps
From that moment, agents tapped the suspect’s phone and discovered that he was living with the missing man’s Cuban wife. After months of listening to the couple’s conversations, both were eventually arrested and accused of the crime.
At the same time, the police unearthed the dismembered body of the missing man—at least most of it—in the Romanesque cemetery of Andaluz, a nearby village with around twenty inhabitants.
