The body of a British businessman has been found in a car
submerged in a reservoir three months after he went missing in Spain.
Spanish media reports state a car belonging to Martin
Walker, 59, was found by fishermen before being pulled ashore by divers.
An appeal for information was issued by the local police after Walker
disappeared around March 4.
Authorities received a call after a vehicle was seen in the
water at the Civan reservoir in Caspe, Zaragoza, at around
1.30pm. Specialist divers found the SUV around 200 meters from the shore
and discovered a corpse inside the vehicle.
Spanish police confirmed the licence plate and model of
the vehicle that was found belonged to a British national who disappeared
at the beginning of March.
The car was re-floated using balloons and the body was been
transferred to the Institute of Legal Medicine in Aragon. The late Martin
Walker runs Catfish Capers, a fishing tour business that operates on the River
Ebro in the Zaragoza town of Caspe in northern Spain, where he is said to have
lived for around 15 years.
