Missing Spanish boy Gabriel Cruz found dead in car

The body of a missing boy has been found in the boot of a car being driven by his father's partner, officials in Spain say.

Eight-year-old Gabriel Cruz's disappearance in the southern province of Almeria in late February captured the nation's attention.

After a missing person's alert went viral, a search involving over 4,000 police and volunteers was launched.

Police have arrested the father's partner, who they had pulled over.

"This morning, the Civil Guard stopped the companion of Gabriel's father while she was transporting the little boy's corpse in the boot of a car," Interior Minister Juan Ignacio Zoido said, according to the AFP news agency.

Gabriel was last seen on 27 February when he left his grandmother's house in the village of Las Hortichuelas in the municipality of Níjar.
