An Argentine man, a 34-year-old nightclub doorman, was arrested yesterday early in the morning, after allegedly killing another 54-year-old man with several stab wounds to the face and abdomen, after both had a fight inside their home in the Madrid district of Puente de Vallecas. The first information indicates that both were a couple.

The crime occurred during a session of esotericism and magic, according to the first data collected. The victim, Pedro Luis G. E., was found naked and with a screwdriver stuck in one eye and two others in the abdomen. In one of the hands, the deceased carried a wooden cross, according to the first agents who entered the house, which was very disorderly and full of Bibles and religious and esoteric objects.

The alleged murderer, Gustavo Daniel O., recorded himself with his mobile phone after committing the crime and uploaded the images to a social network.

In the filming, you can see how the murderer goes naked from the waist up, carrying a picture with the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The alleged criminal recorded the hallway of the house and, later, the living room that was very scrambled, with a cushion lying on the floor. The recording ends by turning the camera and focusing on himself, saying in a very weak tone: "I'm so sorry." Then, he smiles at the camera and shows the picture of Jesus.

The crime occurred around seven in the morning, at number 29 Salvador Martínez Lozano Street, in a corrala in the district of Puente de Vallecas, near Monte Igueldo Street.

The neighbors heard a big argument inside the home. "We woke up to the blows. There have been screams and a lot of noise and I have been startled by the fuss that was during the discussion, "said a neighbor about what happened.

The agents knocked on the door of the house where the alleged murderer opened them. Upon entering, they found the 54-year-old man surrounded by a pool of blood. He had a large screwdriver stuck in his right eye and two others sunk into his chest. He was lying with his feet on the floor and resting his back on the legs of a sofa.

In the living room of the house the alleged murderer remained still and without articulating a word He did not resist the arrest and confessed that both had taken narcotic substances during the early morning in the house of Vallecas, after having been with some friends.

The health workers of the Medical Emergency Service of Madrid (Summa 112) who went to the place confirmed the death of the man.

Agents of Group V of Homicides and also of the Violent Crimes group of the Scientific Police Brigade moved to the house of Vallecas.

Discussions

The house was very turbulent, full of salt on the floor and full of Bibles and objects related to black magic, esotericism and occultism. It is suspected that both were performing a ritual of esotericism or spiritualism before the crime broke out. There were also traces of narcotic substances on a table.

The neighbors of the property assure that both tenants used to argue a lot and that the fights between them were frequent for several months. The residents maintain that Pedro and Gustavo lived together and that they were a sentimental couple, an extreme that has not yet been confirmed by the National Police.

The body was transferred around noon yesterday to the Institute of Legal Medicine of Valdebebas, where on Monday the autopsy will be performed on Pedro's body.

Police sources have reported that investigators are trying to determine if there was a romantic relationship between the victim and the detainee because, if they did, it would be a case of domestic violence. With this crime, there are already seven violent deaths in the Community of Madrid so far this year.
