Spain: US woman killed in Seville, body chopped up

MADRID – A 49-year-old American woman who lived in the southern Spanish city of Seville was killed, cut up into pieces and thrown into a river, police said Wednesday.
A 30-year-old Spanish man who knew the victim has been arrested, and a police search of his apartment turned up blood stains, a National Police official said. The nature of their relationship and any possible motive for the killing were not immediately known.
The woman, a mother of one child, was a longtime resident of Seville and a native of New York, the official said, without specifying if that meant the city or the state. She was reported missing over the weekend.
Authorities have identified the woman but will not release her name, in line with Spanish police policy, the official said. They identified the suspect only by the initials A.G.S.
