The tattoo that helped track down a German man wanted for murder

A GERMAN man wanted for murder has been caught in Spain because of his tattoo.

Dominik R. was arrested by Catalan police in Lloret de Mar after the body of his 20-year-old girlfriend, Lisa, was discovered in Freyung.

But Spanish cops tracked him down after a tattoo on his arm showing Lisa’s name, date of birth, the date she died and ‘Thanks For Everything’ was identified.

Prior to his arrest, Dominik R. posted a photo at the Eiffel Tower, withdrew cash in Valladolid and was seen driving through toll booths along the Mediterranean.
