In the Costa Blanca, a British woman was killed in what is thought to be a domestic violence murder.
It is believed that her husband, who is also presumed to be British, was taken into custody early this morning.
He reportedly tried to flee the scene and is now being treated for a knife wound in a hospital.
At roughly 3.50 am this morning, the couple’s neighbours sounded the alarm.
Police then rushed to their house in Orihuela Costa, south of Alicante.
The 64-year-old woman was found dead inside the property with stab injuries around 4am.
Her husband, 69, is said to have been taken into custody as he tried to leave.
He is under police guard in hospital with a knife wound to the stomach.
It is not immediately clear how he suffered the injury.
