REFUSE COLLECTOR- STOCK IMAGE

A WASTE collection team in Castellon got a shock when they discovered a man’s body inside a refuse bin that was being emptied into their lorry.

The Policia Nacional said the victim was 45-year-old businessman, Vicente Dominguez, the ex-husband of Almassora mayor, Maria Tormo.

Dominguez still lived in Almassora- just south of Castellon- and fathered a five-year-old daughter with Tormo.

The waste collection workers were on Avenida Perez Galdos in Castellon when they made the gruesome find on Sunday at around 5am.

They spotted the corpse when they had tipped over the waste container to dump its contents into the truck’s compression system.

The Police Nacional took statements from several witnesses who were in the area- which was very busy.

That was because the near-by Ribalta park had been hosting several free open air concerts into the early hours of Sunday morning.

CCTV footage is being analysed and the outcome of a forensic report is pending.
