Gracia, the octogenarian from Carabanchel murdered last Monday afternoon by a neighbor who later took her own life, died after receiving fifty hammer blows to the head and body, according to the first autopsy data.

During some nights, Mari Luz even belittled her neighbor by shouting "rat, rat."

Last Monday Gracia opened the door and at that moment Mari Luz came out of her apartment with a hammer and began to hit the old woman, a very thin and vulnerable woman who tried unsuccessfully to defend herself from the blows.

The alleged murderer attacked the octogenarian using the blunt part of the tool and then also hit her with the open curve on its back designed for nail extraction.

After committing the crime, the woman entered her house and jumped into the void from the sixth floor window.

The murdered octogenarian did not, however, have any psychiatric problems.

"She was a charming woman and because of her age she had some dementia and sometimes she said nonsense things, but she was not violent," a neighbor on the same block explained yesterday.

The problems between the two neighbors had been going on for years and began to arise due to a ramp on the block and due to the antennas on the roof.

In fact, above the house of the murdered woman there was a poster with the slogan: "
