A 42-year-old man accused of murdering three elderly siblings in Spain is now suspected of killing his cellmate in prison, according to reports. The suspect, identified as Dilawar Hussain F.C., was relocated to Estremera prison near Madrid last month. He had apparently confessed to the killings of two sisters and their brother in the nearby town of Morata de Tajuña. The alarm was raised when a man was found dead in his cell during the early hours of Thursday. Dilawar Hussain F.C. shared the cell with a 39-year-old man of Bulgarian origin. The deceased man had suffered multiple blows and the investigation into his killing is now underway. The cell where the incident occurred was located in a section of Estremera prison that houses difficult prisoners, and the cellmate had been assigned to monitor Dilawar Hussain F.C. The suspect had surrendered to the police two days prior to his admission into Estremera prison. The bodies of the three siblings were discovered after neighbors reported not seeing them leave their home for weeks. It was later revealed that the suspect had owed a large sum of money, which was apparently connected to the sisters' involvement in an online romance scam. The sisters had fallen victim to a deceptive relationship with two men claiming to be US military personnel, resulting in them sending hundreds of thousands of euros. Despite warnings, they denied the scam and requested financial aid from local residents. Dilawar Hussain claimed to have lent them a significant amount of money and had been living in their home as a lodger for several months. Investigators believe the sisters and their brother were brutally attacked with an iron bar and their bodies were then partially burned in December. Prior to these events, Dilawar Hussain had already served a jail term for assaulting Amelia, one of the sisters, with a hammer. He was released from prison in September.
