ARCHIVED - Madrid man chained to the wall for 8 days by his own sons
The girlfriend of one of the children has also been arrested in Torrejón de Ardoz
Three people have been arrested by the Policía Nacional in the region of Madrid after they were found to have chained the father of the two men detained to a wall for eight days, the other person arrested being the partner of one of the two sons.
The police were alerted to the situation only when the man managed to attract the attention of neighbours earlier this month by shouting through a window from his home in Torrejón de Ardoz, and when he was rescued he was found to be in a poor state of health. The only comfort he was allowed was a mattress placed on the floor, and he was admitted to the Hospital Universitario de Torrejón de Ardoz for treatment .
Two of the arrested are under the age of 18 and all three admitted their behaviour when questioned, although they allege that they had been forced to take action due to the victim’s mental health issues.
