, who is thought to be suffering from some kind of mental problems, has been arrested in Los Cristianos in the south of Tenerife accused of murdering his wife.

The man was arrested on Saturday evening when he walked into a bar in a row of shops below where he and his wife had been living for the last eight months, and asked the bar owner if he knew where he lived.

The bar owner explained that he lived in one of the apartments above, but when he saw blood stains on the man's clothes, called in the police.

The woman, who was the same age as her husband, was later found dead at the couple's home with multiple stab wounds.
