Overview
- The 46-year-old cohabitant was detained Tuesday after a dispute in a shared flat in the Miraflores de los Ángeles neighborhood left the landlord dead.
- Police say the man confessed at the scene and remains in custody with no court appearance expected Wednesday.
- First responders found the victim, about 60, with severe facial injuries and signs of asphyxia, with the autopsy still pending to confirm how he died.
- The flat housed four people, including the property owner, and officers say the clash began as an argument between roommates.
- Homicide detectives and forensic teams examined the home, and the case adds to concern locally after a separate fatal stabbing in Málaga earlier in the week.
