The Civil Guard has arrested a 32-year-old man in Albatera for allegedly killing his uncle, another 39-year-old man, by slitting his throat with a knife.
The murder took place last Monday at the family home, where uncle and nephew, 39 and 32 years of age, lived together with other family members.
The local police were called at around 11:40 am, when they were alerted to a possible homicide inside a house in that municipality.
The assailant was arrested by local police officers at the scene, at the time the notice was received. The Alicante Civil Guard travelled to the dwelling where they took over the investigation.
The agents confirmed that a man had caused the death of another by the use of a knife for reasons that are still being investigated, although the main hypothesis is that his uncle and nephew had long standing disagreements between them.
The alleged perpetrator is the victim’s nephew, both are of Moroccan origin and, they lived together with other people in the same address.
