Towards the middle of last month a man in his mid 80s was arrested in Arganzuela (Madrid), suspected of having murdered his daughter-in-law.

The alleged murderer is an 85-year-old, retired Guardia Civil officer who is accused of strangling the 47-year-old woman with a belt. 

Afterwards, he phoned his son to say, “I’ve done something very bad,”whilst he waited for the police to arrive.

The incident occurred around 10.30h and the Policía Municipal were the first to arrive at the address; Nº30 Calle Ferrocarril, where they found  an Asian woman with no pulse lying on the kitchen floor. They immediately began CPR but were unable to resuscitate her.

The ex-officer was arrested and the body sent for an autopsy to certify the cause of death.
