Spanish police who arrested a German man suspected of murdering his girlfriend found a tattoo on his arm bearing her name, date of birth and another date that may indicate her date of death. The couple’s 18-month-old son was recovered by officers and is said to be in good health. Although police do not know exactly when she was killed, a tattoo on the suspect’s shoulder bears her name, Lisa, her date of birth, and another date – 27/10/2016 – with a cross next to it and “thanks for everything” written in Spanish. “The officers’ primary objective throughout the investigation has been to find the 18-month-old child in good health.” He is being looked after in Catalonia while German social services travel to Spain to pick him up. The man, who is awaiting extradition to Germany, faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
