A 40-year-old foreign man was in police custody on Tuesday charged with stabbing to death a woman, who is believed to be his partner, in a vehicle near the popular holiday resort of Can Pastilla on the outskirts of Palma. A three-year-old child was also in the car.

The alarm was raised when police were informed that there had been a road accident between two cars. One of the vehicles fled the scene. When vehicle and driver were located, the police made the gruesome discovery of the body of a woman covered in blood inside the car.

According to a report from our sister newspaper Ultima Hora the driver told police: "It was me. I killed her." He was detained by officers and taken to the main police station in Palma for questioning.

Unconfirmed reports suggested that the three-year-old was his daughter. Police launched a major investigation last night.

They were also talking to eye-witnesses and residents in the area.
