This Was Former Mayor of Gandía's Last Call Moments Before Being Murdered

'My tire got punctured,' he commented before ending the conversation.

The sudden murder of the former mayor of Gandía is still on everyone's lips. Let's remember that Arturo Torró, mayor of the town between 2011 and 2015, was shot dead on Wednesday night.

The businessman and former mayor of Gandía, Arturo Torró, was found lifeless on Wednesday night inside his vehicle. This, after being shot in the Valencian town of Xeresa. The incident occurred around 11:00 p.m. on the A-38 road, at kilometer 37 (kilómetro 37), which connects Xeresa with Gandía.

According to Vozpópuli, someone was following him and punctured at least one of the car's tires. This way, they could attack him when he was most vulnerable. Supposedly, the former politician was 'threatened', something that surprised the victim's close circle, as, according to the media, they were unaware of it.

It is important to highlight the alleged last call made by Torró. According to the media, he made it while driving to Marxuquera, where he usually lived, after visiting one of his businesses in Sueca. Shortly before 8:00 p.m., while they were talking, his vehicle's system, a Mercedes, warned him about a problem with the tires.

"I've got a flat tire," he commented before ending the conversation and stopping on the shoulder. From that moment on, there is no record of him contacting anyone else.

Torró's vehicle remained stopped on the shoulder of the A-38 in Xeresa, with the engine still running, when his wife arrived at the scene joined by her sister. They had decided to go there after trying to contact him repeatedly for two or three hours without success.

The geolocation of the businessman's mobile phone had guided them to the exact point where they found him. It was his wife who discovered his body next to the car. Supposedly, the body had a gunshot wound to the chest and signs of strangulation on the neck.

According to the media, both his family and his friends and former colleagues from the Valencian PP still do not understand what happened. In his circle, no one noticed warning signs or unusual situations. However, the way the crime was carried out points to a calculated and coldly executed action.
