Police were called to her mother’s house last week after a neighbour called 112 to say someone was setting fire to the house. The accused was found inside the building holding a burning piece of cardboard and had 10 boxes of matches in her pockets.
The 62-year-old, who's an author and former Professor of the University of the Balearic Islands, is facing a raft of other charges.
She's being questioned about the alleged attempted poisoning of her husband in 2017 and the burning a family vehicle in a Carrer Patronato Obrero in Palma on November 26.
Charges of fraud are also being brought against her for allegedly disguising herself as her mother in an attempt to persuade a notary to change her mother’s will.
Bank accounts belonging to the defendant are being analysed and officers are also sifting through documents found in a room she rented at the Zurbarán Hotel in the El Terreno district of the city which allegedly contain notes such as; 'kill my daughter’, 'make a will before killing her,’ referring to her mother and ‘kill Josefa and J.C.’
The suspect's brother, who's been diagnosed with a paranoid schizophrenia, had a pension plan worth 170,000 euros which was reportedly paid for by their mother. The plan has allegedly been cancelled and the money diverted to a joint account in both their names.
