Stabbed and buried in a house, the cruel end of the witness to the CAM crime
The mysterious disappearance in mid-March of Jesús Tavira made headlines due to its connection with the most high-profile criminal case Alicante has experienced in recent decades: the unsolved murder of Maria del Carmen Martínez, widow of the former president of the Caja de Ahorros del Mediterráneo, Vicente Sala. The discovery of the businessman’s body, stabbed multiple times and buried in a modest house on the rural outskirts of Alicante, no matter how sordid and gruesome the crime, would not have drawn so many cameras and so much public speculation without the link that connected Tavira to another murder committed almost ten years ago that remains unsolved, that of the matriarch of a wealthy family embroiled in inheritance disputes.
