A man, out on licence from prison, has been arrested for allegedly killing his wife and mother-in-law in the Madrid suburb of Arganda del Rey.
The incident occurred at around 14:00 on Saturday in calle Isaac Peral in Arganda del Rey when the man, a Rumanian national, allegedly attacked the two women.
The mother-in-law died at the scene but the wife, who suffered multiple stab wounds, was still alive and was taken to the Gregorio Marañón hospital in Madrid in a critical condition. Unfortunately, however, her wounds were extremely severe and she later died as a result of complications relating to her injuries.
The alleged aggressor was arrested at the scene. Police were alerted to the incident by two relatives who reported hearing a heated discussion in the apartment.
