A MAN allegedly killed his wife with a shotgun on Sunday and then took his own life at their home in the El Postiguet beach area of Alicante.
The incident joins a tally of four other women killed by their partners over the weekend in Salou, Sabadell, Madrid, and Buñol- also in the Valencian Community.
The Policia Nacional found the bodies of the couple on Calle Virgen de Socorro at around 11pm after a call from a concerned relative that they were not answering their phone.

The bodies of the Spanish man, 33, and his Russian partner, 36, both had shotgun wounds.
There were no previous complaints of mistreatment.
Officers are trying to clarify when the crime was committed.
The bodes have been taken Alicante’s Institute of Legal Medicine for post mortems to be carried out.
The Buñol killing happened in the early hours of Saturday on the Venta Mina urbanisation.
Paramedics were unable to save the 31-year-old victim while her partner escaped and was chased before ramming a police car in Xirivella.
Authorities said there was a ‘frantic’ chase before the suspect was apprehended on the bridge over the V-30 close to Avenida de Cid.
