Malaga

after allegedly shooting the owner of the house where he lives for rent with a pen-pistol in the jaw, apparently due to disagreements between the two.

a ballpoint-like pistol

, prepared to open fire.

The events occurred when the tenant and the landlord met at a restaurant located in the Malaga neighborhood of

Puerto de la Torre

, a place where they usually met for a drink.

Finally, the Police arrested the suspect, who has

a history of crimes of a different nature

, and seized the prohibited weapon used by the aggressor.
