Madrid municipal police have arrested a 47-year-old man suspected of sexually abusing his wife and two children, according to authorities cited by Efe. The case has prompted an official inquiry into potential crimes connected to gender-based violence and public health concerns, with investigators evaluating any chemical involvement in the alleged abuse.
The wife reported her suspicions to the officers while her two children, aged 13 and 10, were present in the home in Madrid. Over several weeks, she had noticed a pink substance in tea and meals that caused dizziness and physical malaise, raising concerns about possible poisoning as part of the broader abuse pattern.
The victims were taken to the 12 de Octubre hospital for testing under a protocol used in suspected chemical contamination cases connected to sexual violence. Medical professionals conducted the relevant assessments to determine any health risks and to document injuries or exposures for the investigation.
The police response followed a violent dispute between the father and one of his sons at the family residence in the Villaverde Alto district last Tuesday. The authorities arrived after a neighbor alerted them to the confrontation, prompting a welfare check and an immediate inquiry into the family dynamics and safety concerns.
Upon arrival, officers entered the home and secured the scene. The father opened the door, and investigators began questioning him separately from the wife and the children. The wife recounted that the conflict escalated from a dispute with her husband, who allegedly admitted to mistreating her and acknowledged that his wife had previously been harmed. During the interview, she disclosed the pink substance found in tea and food that had left her feeling dizzy and unwell.
According to police sources, the 13-year-old son, who was also allowed to be with his younger sibling, corroborated parts of his mother’s account. The woman indicated that the suspect had hidden the substance in a room that the rest of the family was not allowed to enter, a detail suggesting an attempt to conceal the actions from others in the household.
The man was charged with crimes related to gender-based violence and public health violations. The case continues to be investigated as authorities gather additional evidence, interview additional witnesses, and review medical and forensic findings. The early signs point to a troubling pattern of control and harm within the family unit, with potential links to deliberate chemical exposure that could compound the severity of the alleged abuse. The investigation remains active as prosecutors assess all relevant charges and the possible need for protective measures for the family members involved.
The case underscores ongoing concerns about domestic violence and the potential use of toxins or hazardous substances in the context of abuse. Authorities in Madrid are coordinating with medical teams to ensure the safety of victims and to determine the full scope of any criminal conduct. Updates will be provided as new information becomes available and are expected to influence ongoing legal proceedings.
