A man from Ukraine has confessed to murdering his German flatmate at the home they shared on the Intur Urbanisation on Playa de San Juan in Alicante City this weekend. The Información newspaper said it happened at around 2.30 on Saturday afternoon in a flat on the fifth floor of a block on Avenida de Bruselas, and that the victim appears to have been beaten on the head with a stick before he was strangled with a belt.

The paper notes a comment from a neighbour in the block that it happened during a heated argument, and says officers found blood on the walls when they arrived on the scene. The suspect is said to have immediately confessed to police, and put up no resistance to arrest.

Neither victim or attacker have been named in the report.
