A woman and her current partner have been arrested by the Policia Nacional for allegedly killing and dismembering her husband.
The victim- a Cuban national- had been missing for months and his remains were found on Tuesday in a cemetery in Andaluz(Soria province).

Police sources revealed that some photos from Google Street View led to a breakthrough in their probe.
A person was recorded loading a bulky white plastic bag containing a body into the trunk of a maroon Rover vehicle in Tajueco.
The image is still available on Google Maps.
The Policia Nacional confirmed that ‘one of the clues were some images that investigators detected in a location search application’.
There were apparently no human witnesses to the body’s disposal with the population of Andaluz being just 50 people.
A judge has slapped a secrecy order on the investigation.
