An Irish tourist arrested on suspicion of murdering his partner at their Spanish hotel was reportedly seen arguing with her before she was found dead.
The couple had spent “hours in a state of anger” according to sources quoted by respected Catalan newspaper El Periodico.
It also claimed the 30-year-old holidaymaker held after his 36-year-old partner’s violent death at the four-star Magnolia Hotel in the Costa Dorada resort of Salou 70 miles south of Barcelona, is refusing to cooperate with police and "slowed" attempts to contact the dead woman's next-of-kin by allegedly declining to give them any helpful information.
