The judge in Instruction Court Four in Torremolinos has, today, Wednesday, ordered prison for the 48 year old British woman, M.C., who is alleged to have stabbed her 57 year old husband, also British, to death.

EFE news agency reports that the alleged aggressor told the police that she was a victim of domestic violence from her husband, C.D., although no complaints for that have been placed in Spain. Spanish police are now asking British colleagues to see if there is any record of abuse in Sunderland, where the couple came from.

Police were called to their home in the Torremuelle urbanisation in Benalmádena Costa in the early hours of Tuesday, where they found the man with a deep stab wound inside the property. Emergency workers could only certify the death at the scene.

Police now think that she stabbed her husband while he was asleep.
