The unnamed expat was reported to the police in 2007 for domestic violence.

The suspect is expected to appear before a judge in the city of Totana later today or tomorrow and will remain in custody while officers conduct an investigation.

Last month, an 80-year-old Briton was arrested over the violent death of his wife at their apartment in the Costa del Sol resort of Torremolinos.

A judge sent David Cadwallader, 80, to a psychiatric ward while the inquest into his wife’s death continues.
