Is Burning Body a true story, what did Rosa Peral do

Yes, Burning Body is a true crime story focuses on the shocking crime and love triangle between three police officers that ended in murder in the Spanish city of Barcelona.

Peral, who will give her first interview since her imprisonment on the Netflix documentary, was convicted of the murder of her of ex-boyfriend (and fellow Guàrdia Urbana police officer) Pedro Rodríguez after his burnt remains were found in his car, with reports the body was so badly burnt only the ashes were left of the victim.

With police instantly on the hunt to discover who was responsible for the killing of Rodríguez, police set their sights on ex-girlfriend Peral, who had dated Rodríguez between 2014 and 2016 until the pair split when Peral struck up another controversial romance with another Guardia Urbana officer by the name of Albert López.

It is said both Peral and Rodríguez were involved in a big argument which was centred around her and her new partner Albert getting together behind his back. Following the murder of Rodríguez, both Peral and López blamed each other, though many had been seen eating lunch together on the day of the arrest.

This relationship led police to believe the pair were responsible for the murder of Rodríguez. In the days following the May 2017 crime, arrests were made, charges were filed against the pair and courtroom drama would begin. Peral claimed López had blackmailed her and told her he would kill her and her daughter, while López cited the body was already found in the car and, since the pair were an item, he agreed to help her burn the body.

She would strongly deny all charges against her but the jury would find her guilty of all charges and was sentenced to 25 years behind bars. However, Peral still maintains her innocence and has since appealed her conviction and remains embroiled in a battle to prove her innocence.
