A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after his flatmate was found dead at a guesthouse in Gran Canaria.
The body of the victim, a man in his 50s, was discovered in the early hours of Tuesday at a property in the San José area of Las Palmas. Police say he showed "clear signs of violence".
Both men were living at the guesthouse on Calle San Francisco Javier at the time of the incident.
Officers from the National Police responded to the scene and launched a criminal investigation.
Early findings suggest a dispute between the two men may have led to the death, which is believed to have been caused by strangulation. However, that will be officially confirmed by a forensic examination.
The suspect, also in his 50s and originally from the Canary Islands, was arrested yesterday, Wednesday. He is currently in custody and expected to appear before a judge in the coming days.
The investigation remains ongoing.
