He has been admitted to the ward and remains stable but with serious injuries. In the incident a 45-year-old woman, his daughter-in-law, was also slightly injured.
The Guardia Civil confirmed that both its agents and the Local Police of Formentera had intervened on several occasions at this home due to family conflicts. Ràdio Illa has reported that the daughter-in-law had formalised two complaints for aggressions by her father-in-law.
