The incident occurred in a shared residence at number 30 Calle Ferrocarril. The victim's son, who is also the suspect's son-in-law, called emergency services after his father reported committing a 'serious act' and requested police assistance. Emergency personnel arrived and confirmed the woman had no vital signs, though initial assessments indicated possible signs of violence. The case is under investigation by the Group VI of Homicides.

The incident occurred on Saturday morning at approximately 11:10 hours, according to police reports. The suspect, a 85-year-old man, was identified as the father of the deceased woman, who was 47 years old.

Initial attempts at resuscitation failed, confirming her death on-site. The body was found in a residence located at number 30, Calle Ferrocarril, in the Arganzuela district.
