The body was discovered in the parking lot of a store opposite the Caliente Stadium, where the Iranian national team has been heading every day since its arrival last Sunday, and a one-minute drive from the hotel where it was staying.
The police opened the car, which was a gray Toyota four-wheel drive car, which resulted in the emission of a strong unpleasant odor.
Specialists wearing white uniforms worked around the car to examine the body before transporting it from the place.
The Tijuana Public Prosecutor’s Office later explained, in a statement to Agence France-Presse, that a surveillance patrol was the one who found the body.
A preliminary report stated: “When searching the car, the patrol noticed that there was a person in the back of the trunk, wrapped in a black bag, with signs of violence on him.”
According to a prosecution spokesman, the suspect car had been parked at the location since last Wednesday. (AFP)
