Police held the man in his apartment, that he shared with his mother, after they discovered the OAP lying lifeless on her bed, with her radio still on and a fan beside her still going.



The dead womans son, named locally only as Javier S, reportedly admitted to cops that he had sealed the door of 80 year old Antonias bedroom with insulating tape to mask the bad smell from her rotting body.

The son also claimed he had survived on a diet of biscuits, rice and chickpeas which his mum bought before she died, since she passed away a month ago.

The horror discovery was made inside their flat in Majorca, Spain. Neighbours at the flat in the Palma neighbourhood of Santa Catalina said they hadnt seen Javier leave the property for around 13 years.

He is said to have told investigators he hadnt stepped outside for eight years and relied on his mum to do all their food shopping and run other errands.

Police made the grim discovery after a neighbour rang them to say she hadnt seen Antonia for several weeks. Cops revealed a preliminary post mortem report has pointed to a possible violent cause of death.

Javier, who is insisting he had nothing to do with his mums death, appeared in court in Palma yesterday and was bailed pending an ongoing probe and the return of the full autopsy results.
