The body of a man and his six year old daughter were found on Monday morning at a house in calle Claveles in the Las Flores district of Campillos, Málaga. In December, the man was sentenced to six months in prison for domestic violence but the sentence was suspended.
A family member discovered the bodies on Monday morning and informed the police. The body of the young girl, who had been spending a few days with her father during the Easter holidays, was found on the bed. Her father was found hanged.
There was a restraining order against the man with respect to his former partner but not relating to his daughter. Police believe that the man took advantage of visiting rights and killed his daughter before taking his own life.
