The bizarre case ended with the authorities arresting both the would-be hitman, as well as the woman and her daughter, police said in a statement. The woman and her daughter went to a police station in central Madrid in mid-June to file two separate complaints, the statement said. The first complaint was against the woman’s romantic partner — who she claimed had tricked her out of more than 60,000 euros ($68,000) over the years. Her son-in-law offered to kill the woman’s romantic partner after being told by her daughter about the alleged scam. The man and the two women are accused of incitement to commit murder.
