A professional female bodybuilder dubbed ‘She Hulk’ was found beaten to death with a hammer at her rented Costa del Sol home.
Colombian bodybuilding champion, Zunilda Hoyos Mendez, and her partner were found dead on Thursday afternoon, June 20, after detectives went to the property.
The body of her partner, named as 46-year-old Jarrod Gelling, was found in a bathroom with what police have described in an initial statement as ‘apparent self-inflicted stab wounds.’
Zunilda, who was dubbed Colombian She-Hulk, had been missing since Saturday after flying to the Costa del Sol from Dubai, where the couple reportedly spent much of their time.Â
Her relatives described Jarrod overnight as ‘aggressive’ and said they believe he could have lashed out after she told him she wanted a divorce.
EmmanuelsBlog confirm that they had broken up already once and were apart for quite a while but then got back together again to try to resolve things, although the mistreatment continued.
Zunilda’s niece Yuleydis told Malaga-based newspaper Sur her aunt was going to help nurse Jarrod after a knee operation before travelling to Portugal for a competition.Â
The couple’s bodies were found just before 2pm yesterday inside a property on a residential estate called Higueron West after a gym companion of Zunilda’s raised the alarm saying he hadn’t seen her since June 14.
