Agents of the National Police have arrested a 55-year-old man as allegedly responsible for the murder of a 29-year-old woman inside a home, located in the Usera district in Madrid. This was reported by the Madrid Police Headquarters in a statement.
The events occurred in a house on Travesía de Santoña in the early hours of Sunday to Monday, around 2:00 a.m. The agents located the victim with several stab wounds, with no signs of life. The health services could only confirm his death. According to emergency services, the victim had stab wounds to his neck and right armpit.
Finally, representatives of the Citizen Assistance Group located the individual in the vicinity of the home and proceeded to arrest him.
