The victim of the Costa del Sol murder predicted his own violent death on social media

Foreigner beaten to death in Nerja caves

A foreigner, said to be of German-American descent, has been arrested in the Malaga town of Nerja on suspicion of murder after the badly-beaten body of another man was discovered in an inhabited cave in the Barranco de Maro ravine.

The body, which had visibly suffered from severe head injuries, was discovered by a number of locals on Friday September 8 and the Guardia Civil arrested the middle-aged suspect a short time later.

According to official reports, both the victim and his alleged attacker had been living inside the caves for several months and, shockingly, the deceased had actually predicted his violent death on social media just days before his murder.

"An organised group of criminals is planning to kill me and get rid of my body," he wrote on Facebook on August 28.

"If I disappear, they murdered me. If I am found at the bottom of a cliff, I was pushed and thrown. If I am found dead under any normal or unusual circumstances, I was definitely murdered."

In the same post, the man, who is said to be "from the former Soviet Union", referred to his killer as WH described him as "a convicted criminal who has been investigated by Europol and has served a considerable amount of time in prison. He has all the gang tattoos to prove it. He is an alcoholic, a sociopath and a pathological liar."

This is the second violent killing to rock the popular holiday town after the naked body of a Czech man with a hole in his head was found in a villa near Maro beach on March 27. Another Czech national was arrested by Malaga police in July.
