A British man has been arrested in Los Cristianos on suspicion of murdering his wife.

The briefest of reports at this point:
Quote:
Detenido un británico como presunto autor de la muerte de su esposa

Los hechos ocurrieron en la tarde de este sábado en el núcleo costero de Los Cristianos, Arona. El hombre, de 47 años, podría tener las facultades mentales alteradas, según algunos vecinos de la pareja. El cuerpo mujer apareció en el apartamento en el que ambos residían con heridas de cuchillo.

How awful - why couldn't he just divorce her if he was unhappy, like normal people would do....

I was about to go to bed too, don't know if I dare now as Geoff has been a grumpy bum most of the day.....

Being honest I immediately think do I/will I know this couple...who do I know that is 47...then I think poor woman....

If I do know them will they be checking their mobiles for recent numbers and contacting me.......Could I have prevented it....

Am I the only one that thinks like this?

El hombre que mató anoche a su mujer se encuentra detenido en la Comisaría Sur de Tenerife

Se trata de un británico de 47 años y con graves problemas mentales. La Policía encontró en su casa a su mujer muerta, tendida en el suelo y con varias cortadas en el cuerpo, sobre todo en la zona del cuello. El juez y el forense procedieron anoche al levantamiento del cadáver.
Un hombre de 47 años ha sido detenido por, presuntamente, matar a su mujer de varias puñaladas. El crimen tuvo lugar este sábado en Los Cristianos, término municipal de Adeje, y el supuesto autor se encuentra en estos momentos en la Comisaría Sur de Tenerife.

Según fuentes de la Delegación del Gobierno, se trata de un británico de 47 años con graves problemas mentales, ya que incluso no reconoce a personas que le son muy cercanas. Al parecer, tras matar a su mujer, también británica y de unos 40 años, fueal bar que está debajo de su casa y le preguntó al dueño si sabía dónde vivía.

A pesar de que no se ha confirmado que llevase manchas de sangre en la ropa, todo apunta a que es así, ya que el dueño del bar, al ver el aspecto que presentaba, llamó por teléfono a la Policía.

Cuando los agentes llegaron al domicilio del matrimonio, se encontraron con el cuerpo de la mujer tendido sobre el suelo. La víctima presentaba varios cortes en el cuerpo, especialmente en la zona del cuello. El juez y el forense procedieron anoche al levantamiento del cadáver.

A 47 year old British man with serious mental problems is now being held in the South Tenerife Comisaria, on suspicion of stabblng his wife to death last evening. The police found her body in their house, lying on the ground and having been stabbed several times, particularly in the neck area. The judge and forensic scientists last night started to organize the removal of her body.

The man seems to have serious mental problems, given that he cannot even recognize close friends and family. It appears that after killing his wife, who was aged 40 and also British, he went down to the bar under his house and asked the owner if he knew where he lived. It has not yet been confirmed that the man's clothes were blood-stained, but this seems likely, since it was the appearance that he presented which prompted the bar owner to alert the police.

This may be of interest.

The woman has been named as Margaret Manley .

A 47-year-old man from Northern England , understood to be her partner, is helping police.

However, he denies any knowledge of the killing.....

Yep.

It's being reported in various places including ic-web.com.

One Spanish paper is also saying the victim was strangled.
