Overview
- The attack at the family flat in Praza de Bretaña on Sunday left the 76-year-old in critical care and she died early Monday at HULA.
- Police detained her son nearby after speaking with the father, who found her bleeding when he returned home.
- Officers say early inquiries point to a mental health crisis possibly tied to long-term drug addiction.
- The suspect received medical care and is now held under police guard in HULA’s psychiatric unit.
- A judge has sealed the case file and any court appearance will wait for a mental health assessment, a step that can delay charges in Spain.
