BLONDE IS CHOPPED UP AND THROWN IN THE RECYCLING BIN Killer’s shock confession

-

A DRUG dealer has admitted chopping up a pretty blonde and dumping her remains in recycling bins, police say.

Jorge Palma, 37, is understood to have made the horrifying confession after giving himself up to cops probing the disappeara­nce of Marta Calvo Buron.

The 25-year-old vanished on November 7 after arranging online to meet Palma at his rented home near the Spanish city of Valencia.

Colombian drug dealer Palma was thought to have fled to Italy before it was reported he had been in hiding.

He had already been linked to a previous police investigat­ion in April after he had been the last client of a prostitute who reportedly died after suffering convulsion­s moments after he fled a brothel in Valencia.

Police have already searched rubbish bins in Palma’s home town and surroundin­g villages and are now understood to be focusing on waste plants and rubbish tips.

Spanish media reports said a waste

MISSING: Marta arranged to meet Palma plant collecting household rubbish from the area where Palma lived had been ordered to suspend operations to facilitate the search for Marta’s body parts.

After Palma’s reported confession, it is not clear what he told police during a subsequent formal interview in the presence of his defence lawyer.

Juan Carlos Fulgencio, a central government spokesman for the Valencia region, said after Palma’s arrest: “We could be looking not only at a disappeara­nce but also at a physical aggression that could have resulted in Marta’s violent death.

“Jorge Ignacio Palma has been arrested, he is in Spain and he is going to be questioned about Marta’s violent disappeara­nce.”

Palma, who returned to Spain after being jailed for drugs traffickin­g following his arrest in 2008, vanished five days after Marta’s disappeara­nce.

He is said to have handed himself in to police after being pressured into doing so by his family.
