National Police investigating an incident where a man hurled himself from the fifth floor of an apartment block in Ciudad Jardín, Málaga, subsequently discovered the dead body of his partner in the apartment.
Police found the body of a 66-year-old woman, wife of the deceased, in the apartment while initially investigating a possible suicide. The woman had been stabbed to death.
Police now believe that the man could have killed his partner, with whom he had been living for several years, before then taking his own life.
