A married couple has been found violently dead in the Madrid town of Fuenlabrada this Monday.
According to initial investigations, the 54-year-old woman poisoned her 64-year-old partner with bleach and then took her own life, police sources say.
The events occurred at the home where they lived on Iceland street and the bodies were found by the Summa 112 toilets after a call from their children, concerned about the lack of response from their parents.
Both are of Spanish nationality.
There were no previous complaints from him or her, but, according to sources close to the investigation, she had already tried to harm herself on other occasions, which aroused the suspicions of the relatives that something could have happened.
According to the visual inspection, the poisoning has been caused by "bleach, chemical products and medicines", although it will have to be the autopsy that specifies in what quantities and in what way the man has ingested the products that have ended his life.
Both bodies were in the same room of the house, the bedroom.
She has taken her own life by hanging herself.
A farewell note written by the woman has been found at her home.
The head of the 112 guard, Gema Izquierdo, has assured that upon the arrival of the unit, around one in the afternoon, "it has only been possible to confirm the death of both".
It is not possible to determine when the crime occurred until the forensic examine the bodies.
The Summa psychologists have also gone to the place and have had to care for the couple's children due to an anxiety attack.
Homicide Group V has taken over the investigation.
The 'provincial brigade of the Scientific Police' has also gone to the place.
