Sana’a: Spanish Foreign Ministry officials on Tuesday said that a Spanish police officer, who went missing five days ago, has been found dead on the outskirts of Sana’a, media reported on Tuesday.
According to reports, Antonio Cejudo, assigned to the Spanish Embassy in Sana’a, who had been posted in that country for two years, belonged to the riot control unit and his whereabouts had been unknown since last Thursday when he was scheduled to travel to Spain, one of his brothers said.
The police officer’s body was found shot in the head on a hill outside Sana’a with his service weapon by his side, the Spanish National Police said.
The 38-year-old officer had been dead for three days, forensic specialists said.
The police officer’s body was found at a remote, difficult to reach location and was identified by a member of the security unit at the Spanish Embassy.
Yemeni judicial authorities are investigating the circumstances of the officer’s death, and, according to Spanish Foreign Ministry officials, a call for an autopsy has not been ruled out.
