Mossos d’Esquadra officers have so far arrested one man in connection with the death of a woman whose body was found at her home in Badalona, Barcelona, on Saturday night.
Between 04:00 and 05:00, one or more individuals appear to have entered the home of a married couple, both Pakistani nationals, and carried out an attack which left the woman dead and the husband seriously injured.
The woman was either beaten or strangled to death, there being no signs of any weapons, such as guns or knives, being used.
Police are trying to ascertain the motive for the attack as well as how many attackers were involved.
