According to media reports, a court in Manacor on Mallorca has ordered the pre-trial detention of a man suspected of murdering his mother-in-law. The 47-year-old Portuguese man is accused of killing his mother-in-law, who comes from Switzerland, by punching and kicking her in her house on Wednesday evening. According to media reports, the Portuguese man went berserk because there was no more beer in the fridge.
The man has since been in police custody, as the island newspapers "Mallorca Zeitung" and "Mallorca Magazin" reported, citing judicial circles. The judiciary on the Spanish vacation island did not initially respond to an inquiry. It is unclear whether the man has confessed to the crime.
The newspaper "Última Hora" reported that the victim's daughter had already separated from the man in June last year and had also reported him for gender-based violence. However, the 47-year-old refused to move out of the house. He therefore lived there with his ex-partner and mother-in-law until the end.
