ARCHIVED - Neo-Nazi aristocrat in Spain employs illegal weapons arsenal in grisly double murder-suicide
The Count of Atarés, Fernando González, allegedly killed his partner and another woman at his apartment in Madrid before shooting himself
Two women and a man were found shot dead at an apartment in the centre of Madrid on Monday morning June 20 in a suspected grisly double-murder suicide.
Neighbours heard gunshots in the apartment building at around 10am and called 091. When National Police officers arrived at the scene, they discovered three bodies with gunshot wounds, and paramedics could only confirm their deaths. It's believed the women were shot hours before the suspected suicide.

Spokesperson for Madrid emergency services, David García, explained that "there was no possibility of resuscitating the victims, who are a woman between 30 and 40-years-old, a man (aged 53), and another woman believed to be 70".
An arsenal of illegal weapons and array of photos of dictators Adolf Hitler and Fransisco Franco were found at the ground floor property in the Salamanca neighbourhood which belongs to the alleged killer, the Count of Atarés, Fernando Gonzáleza. It has since been revealed Gonzáleza had a police record for gender violence against his partner, sister and mother, according to police sources.
One of the victims is the aristocrat's partner and mother to the couple's 10-year-old daughter who was on vacation in Paris at the time of the horror shooting.
The other victim was a friend of the alleged killer's partner who was staying at the apartment for a few days. After shooting both women, the count and Marquis of Perijá reportedly turned the gun on himself.
Neighbours have since told police that the alleged killer had firearms at his home in Calle Serrano and was often seen shooting at targets in a courtyard at the property, and claimed they "lived in fear" of the "crazy" and "often angry" man.
In 2009 he was denounced for mistreating his sister and mother and a restraining order was imposed on him. Years later, in 2018, the police acted as 'ex-officio' after the neo-Nazi aristocrat allegedly mistreated his partner, but she withdrew the complaint and the couple got back together.
