A man has been charged with murder after his girlfriend’s body was discovered in a shallow grave while they were on a getaway to Peru together.
Jorge Garay, 46, from Dartford, is accused of killing mum-of-one Karla Godoy, 36, in Lima.
It’s thought she died between Wednesday September 21 and Sunday October 2 before her remains were found in a blue bag.
Garay was arrested in London on Saturday before the Crown Prosecution Service authorised charges against him on Sunday.
He is due to appear at Folkestone Magistrates’ Court later today.
Kent Police say they are working ‘closely’ with Peruvian authorities to get to the bottom of the case.
Tributes have poured in for Karla, a Honduran-Spanish national who is said to have worked alongside her boyfriend at HMRC’s lorry park at Ebbsfleet.
‘Her heart was so full of love for her daughter and family’, Pioneer Facilities Management CEO, Mary-Jane Pettit, said.
