Second arrest made in gruesome Camposol double murder probe
Another suspect has been detained in Alcantarilla two months after the dismembered bodies of two Ecuadorian men were found
The Guardia Civil has made a second arrest in connection with the deaths of two Ecuadorian men whose dismembered bodies were discovered in a house on the Camposol urbanisation in Mazarrón back in September.
Officers turned up in force at a property in central Alcantarilla early Wednesday morning, November 5, to detain the suspect, who's now facing questions about the murders of José Patricio Chango, 43, and Edwin Guillermo Cambal, 32.
The house where the arrest took place is close to the Town Hall and sources linked to the investigation have confirmed the latest arrest.
The suspect is due to appear before the Totana courts in the coming hours, although the authorities aren't saying much yet about who he is or exactly what he's being charged with.
This latest development comes two months after police finally worked out what had happened to the two men, who'd vanished without trace earlier in the year. Their bodies were found in a house in Camposol in what the Guardia Civil described as a "complex operation".
The recovery was particularly grim, with both bodies dismembered and in an advanced state of decomposition.
The first suspect was arrested shortly after that discovery and is currently being held in pretrial detention. According to sources, he's someone who had no previous connection whatsoever to José Patricio and Edwin Guillermo. They'd apparently just crossed paths by chance. The suspect was reportedly squatting in the very house where the bodies were eventually found.
The investigation kicked off when José Patricio's family realised they hadn't heard from him since April 16. At first, they weren't too worried when their calls went unanswered, putting it down to the Easter holidays. But when another week went by with no word, alarm bells started ringing and they filed a missing person report with the Guardia Civil.
Things took an odd turn when security cameras at a petrol station in Fuente Álamo caught one of the missing men's cars on film. The problem was, according to the family, it was being driven by three people they didn't recognise. The relatives, who'd even got the Ecuadorian consulate involved, conducted their own searches around Camposol and nearby residential areas. They focused particularly on the spot where the missing men's mobile phone signals had last pinged in the early hours of the 16th.
Removing the two decomposed bodies from the house required bringing in a specialist unit all the way from Madrid.

What services to do they offer?
- Gas Central Heating
CHM installs gas central heating with UK-style, thermostat-controlled convection radiators for maximum efficiency. These panel radiators, which have copper pipework, are not sectional, making them less likely to leak in the future. - Gas Water Heating
Save hundreds of euros a year on your electricity bills with CHM by switching to gas water heating! With the alarming increase in the cost of electricity in Spain, it make sense to get instant savings with an easy-to-install, gas-based water heating system. - Oil Central Heating
They can also provide you with the same kind of UK-style convection radiators but using oil-fired central heating so you can “pay as you go”, and only pay for the hot water and heating you use. All their oil tanks – Baxi Roca, combination boilers – are double skinned, so even if there is a leak in the internal tank, it is held by the second skin. We install. - Backup Water Tanks
Ensure you never run out of water by installing a fully pumped water deposit system in your home – just choose the size and type that suits your needs! - Air Conditioning
Get domestic and commercial air conditioning with inverter technology to cool, heat and even dehumidify your property. All the air conditioning units provided by CHM come with a two-year warranty and a backup service from manufacturer Baxi. - Leak Detection and Repair
Contact CHM to pinpoint the source of water leaks quickly and securely, whether inside or out, and get it repaired in the shortest time possible.
