The body of John George, a dad-of-two from Belfast, was found in a citrus orchard on Spain's Costa Blanca after going missing on a sunshine break. His murder is part of a recent surge in violence on the Costa, with another corpse discovered in Rojales just days after John's disappearance. Authorities link the rise in crime to local drug trafficking and organized crime.

ON a remote and lonely Costa Blanca road, the ten-metre trail of blood on the Tarmac had led to John George’s body.dad-of-two had been in a hurry, his corpse hauled off the rural highway and left beneath a lemon tree without so much as an attempt to dig a shallow grave.

Marbella’s chief prosecutor, Julio Martinez Carazo, said last year that local drug trafficking is generating “reckless delinquency — delinquency with no scruples”. In the early hours of December 17 — three days after John’s family last heard from him — a 39-year-old ­Lithuanian man was killed trying to creep into a villa repurposed as a marijuana factory.engineer from the UK’s Midlands, told me: “I heard gunshots at around 1.30am coming from the villa that my property backs on to. Everyone knew there was a ­cannabis farm there.

Another expat, Paul, assures me that Rojales — around a 35-mile drive south from Alicante and with a population of 21,000 — is “a lovely area” where people enjoy “golf and drinking”.At nearby Edina’s Bar And Grill, owner Edina Csaszar, 46, said of the two murders nearby: “It’s shocking really for the people who live here because it’s a bit scary.

Two of the Brits were in the van and a third in a look-out car driven in front to alert them to any police roadblocks and other ­potential hazards. Miraculously, he discharged ­himself from hospital on the same day he was admitted, despite losing a considerable amount of blood.
