Police arrested a 66-year-old man in Palma de Mallorca on Friday who reappeared after 30 years and presumably killed his wife's current husband.
According to police, the suspect, who had been arrested on 30 other occasions and was identified only as Miguel S.B., abandoned his wife and two children - whom he hardly knows - three decades ago and was never heard from again, leading the woman to assume that he had died.
Early on Monday, he allegedly attacked her husband, identified as J.M.M., 59, striking him twice in the head with an iron bar while the victim was getting into his car.
The police report noted that several neighbors witnessed the attack, one of whom went outside and pursued the attacker down several streets.
Miguel S.B. then allegedly went after his pursuer with a large knife and threatened to kill him if he did not stop following him, but soon afterwards a police patrol arrested the assailant.
