AN ASPIRING model who fled her country after biting off her ex-boyfriend’s tongue has been arrested after a manhunt.
Adaia Lopez, 26, from Spain, cruelly ripped out her partner’s tongue in June 2017 when he left her after asking for a “last kiss”.

The model was behind bars last night for the brutal scenes on June 26 seven years ago, after being tracked down in Catalonia.
She is set to be hauled to prison after appearing before a judge to begin her six-year jail sentence for the violent revenge assault.
The victim was left with speech and taste problems.
Lopez was believed to have jetted off to Thailand following the horror attack, but an anonymous tipster led cops to find her.
She was accused by her victim’s lawyer Pepe Rey of holidaying in the tropical country while on bail.
But she was found much closer to home – hunkering down in a squat in the Costa Brava resort of Sant Antoni de Calonge north of Barcelona.
The Spaniard, described as an aspiring model on an agency website where she shows off her tats in lingerie, went on the run after the attack.
She was ordered to pay £50,000 in compensation and given 15 days to enter prison after being convicted of wounding her partner.
But the fugitive failed to show at the prison gates before her 15 days were up.
Lopez claimed her bizarre savagery was motivated by self-defence after suffering domestic violence at the hands of Aaron, who she claimed tried to drown her.
However, she lost appeals against her conviction and sentence.
Her violent attack led to her victim, known only as Aaron, suffering with speech and taste problems, after he was hospitalised.
The “irreversible” damage happened after Lopez, then-18, used her teeth as “pincers” to rip out part of Aaron’s tongue.
The savagery took place before she spat out the tongue after begging for one “last kiss” when he tried to break things off.
A neighbour of the couple, who lived together near Barcelona, heard his screams and ran to help, before he was rushed to hospital where doctors managed to stop the bleeding.
Lopez was then arrested by cops but refused to give a statement and was initially released but later charged.
Aaron, 40 at the time, was so badly injured that he required professional help to improve his speech problems.
He’s also said to have lost his sense of taste and the ability to differentiate between sweet and salty foods.
The couple had a six month on-and-off relationship after meeting online in December 2016.
Aaron ironically cited her bad temper as his reason to break things off with Lopez, 22 years his junior.

The victim’s lawyer Pepe Rey claimed last year after Adaia lost appeals against her conviction and sentence while she was on bail that social media pictures showed she had been enjoying holidays in Thailand.
He added: “Here we have a lady who committed a serious crime, left someone without their tongue and right now is not where she should be which is in the hands of justice despite the fact she has a prison sentence hanging over her head.”
