A man has been arrested in Seville on charges of killing his wife

The Civil Guard arrested a man last night after finding the body of a woman in a house in the Sevillana municipality of El Viso del Alcor, where a fire broke out and the body was found, which is being investigated as a macho murder.

According to the Spanish Government's deputy delegate in Seville, Francisco Toscano, the 30-year-old woman showed signs of stab violence.

After warning of a fire in a house in the El Viso del Alcor neighbourhood, Civil Guard agents came to the scene and found the woman's body with signs of violence.

The Civil Guard is investigating the case as a macho murder because the detainee could have a relationship with the woman.

The woman was not registered in the Viogen system for the protection of victims of gender-based violence, but she was arrested because of a previous relationship with another woman.
