A married couple in their 60s were found dead on Thursday night in their home in Los Alcázares. The Guardia Civil has already begun an investigation to try to clarify the circumstances, which, they feel, is not a case of gender violence.
The Judicial Police are now awaiting the results of the autopsy by the Institute of Legal Medicine (IML) to try to shed more light on this event, which still has many unanswered questions.
The bodies of the man and the woman, apparently from Madrid, were found on Thursday night in a house where they lived in Los Alcázares. It was the local police that received the call and finding the bodies of both, called in the Judicial Police who promptly took over the investigation.
The bodies did not initially show signs of violence, according to the sources, nor did the house where the couple lived show any signs of having been violated. A bottle of water was apparently found next to the woman’s body.
According to sources, the couple suffered from some health problems that could be related to the case. The woman did not usually leave the house and the man only left to do household shopping.
Investigators are now looking into whether this double death could be a case of suicide, in which the couple, both worried about their health, decided to take their own lives together.
