A man strangled his 83-year-old mother in Hinojedo (Cantabria) and commits suicide. The Civil Guard was notified this Thursday afternoon by a relative that neither the son nor the mother were picking up the phone or showing any signs of life.

Armed institute agents approached the home and found the woman with "signs of having been strangled," sources have informed EFE. The man then hanged himself, as sources have told EFE of the investigation.
