Last week a Swedish couple from Torrevieja were living their lives in a not very happy way but at least the wife was alive .Then the 66 year old woman was found dead with her drunken 67 year old husband sitting beside her body .The police took the husband into custody finding it very difficult to make the arrest as he was very drunk.The reason for making the arrest was that there were marks on the woman’s neck which suggested that she had been strangled .She had been dead for some hours before the police arrived at the scene .
Neighbours have said how the couple led a very volatile life .The husband drank heavily and it now seems that there was a great deal of domestic abuse , although the wife had never made a formal complaint to the police .
The results of the post mortem has now shown that the woman was strangled and a judge has detained the husband without bail on suspicion of the murder of his wife and also habitual domestic violence . The man has denied killing his wife .
The couple were about to return to Sweden for the summer which is what they did each year .The surrounding community is very shocked by what has happened .
