Student, 24, feared crushed & incinerated in Majorca after passing out in bin on night out as cops hunt DNA in landfill
A STUDENT is feared dead after she is believed to have fallen asleep in a wheelie bin before being crushed and incinerated at a dump in Majorca.
Agostina Rubini Medina, 24, had been missing for over two weeks after disappearing on a night out in the holiday island’s capital Palma.
She is now believed to have been killed when she fell asleep in a large wheelie bin which was then collected by a bin lorry.
Cops are now looking for traces of the woman’s DNA at the landfill site after the bin’s contents were burned.
Her mobile phone data was used to reconstruct her movements before she vanished.
Police believe that Agostina was waiting for a bus around midnight.
And then it is thought something of her was dropped into the rubbish bin – and she climbed in to retrieve it.
Deputy Police Chief Fernando Reboyras said she is then believed to have passed out from the alcohol.
It is believed a rubbish truck then emptied the bin and crushed her to death.
Tragically, a witness was waiting for a bus shortly before her death and noticed her handbag placed neatly next to the container but thought nothing more of it.
The witness, who was at the bus stop at 12:12 am, reportedly did not hear her call for help or scream before the binmen arrived at 12:27 am to empty the bin.
The investigators said that the vehicle reached a waste incineration plant at 12:52 am, when the 24-year-old woman’s phone went dead.
Now investigators are working around the clock to find traces of Agostina’s DNA among the ashes and rubbish at the landfill site.
The investigation is ongoing.
The horrifying case is a chilling echo of the disappearance of RAF serviceman Corrie McKeague.
The 23-year-old went missing on September 24, 2026, in Bury St Edmunds.
McKeague is believed to have climbed into a wheelie bin after a night out which was then collected by a bin lorry.
