The National Police is investigating the death of a woman in Ferrol at the hands of her brother after he suffered a psychotic break, sources from that body reported this Wednesday.

The event occurred last Sunday, when the agents found the 79-year-old victim with significant injuries, which ended his life yesterday.

His brother was at home and was hospitalized afterwards, since he had suffered a psychotic break that same afternoon.

The National Police seeks to clarify whether the brother was aware of what happened on Sunday afternoon or had lost his cognitive abilities.
