Actor Luis Lorenzo and his partner, Arancha, were recently arrested on May 27 at a location near Madrid in Rivas Vaciamadrid for reportedly murdering the latter's aunt, Isabel.

According to the police report, the duo invited Isabel to stay with them and used heavy metals to poison her. They also prevented her from contacting other family members. However, when she did not return home, her nephew Jose called the cops.

The police went to Lorenzo's house after he confirmed that she was living with them, although he did not let them see her and they couldn't do it without a warrant. Isabel died in June 2021 due to natural causes of dementia. Meanwhile, Arancha's brother had his doubts and requested an autopsy which revealed that she was poisoned.


The autopsy report stated that there were heavy metals in her system. The police also found that an amount of €30,000 was withdrawn from her bank account during the time she was staying with Luis. Her will was changed at the same time to make Arancha the sole heir.

The latest reports state that Luis and Arancha have been released on the condition that they must report to the court weekly. Their passports have been seized so that they cannot leave the country. Meanwhile, residents in their area stated that they used to hear screams coming from the apartment.

The judge looking over the case has restricted access to the estate's funds until the investigation is over. He has asked the authorities to search Lorenzo's house and find evidence of poison use.
