Ua 25-year-old man was arrested after confessing that he kept, over a year ago, his father's body inside a closet in the house where he lived.
The body of the 71-year-old man remained for a year and a half in the closet of the house where they both lived in Torrecaballeros, in the autonomous community of Castile and León. The son continued to receive retirement from the elderly.
According to El Pais, he would have been the one to report the situation.
The authorities moved on Thursday night to the man's house where they confirmed the facts reported.
A first visual analysis led the agents to state that the victim died of natural causes, but still awaited the result of the autopsy to confirm this thesis.
Sources close to the investigation indicate that the young man may be charged with the crime of concealment of a corpse, with sentences ranging from six months to two years in prison.
