The teenage killing happened at around 9.10pm outdoors in Calle del Morral on the Orihuela Costa’s La Florida urbanisation.

The young Spanish victim was taken to Torrevieja Hospital but died soon afterward.

Reports suggested that she had been stabbed several times in the neck.

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested over the killing after being detained by the Guardia Civil two hours later.

The Guardia has declared a secrecy order on its investigation and are probing what led up to the killing.

Officers cordoned off a property on Calle Venus where the girl’s brother lives.

Residents have long complained about street fights and drugs sales in the area in addition to squatting.
