The body of the young German, Stefan Zablotny, whose disappeareance was reported last Monday by his partner, was found in a rural area of Rincón de la Victoria.

The man, who had gone missing from his residence in Urbanización Añoreta where he had been living for a month and a half, is believed to have committed suicide, according to a Guarida Civil, but this remains only a hypothesis.

The partner, Beatriz, had returned home from work to find 32-year-old Stefan gone and had raised the alarm. He had left all his things behind as if he had just popped out for a walk, she explained. Previous to his arrival in Spain, they had maintained a 2-year-long relationship from a distance.
