POLICE probed a Spanish kung fu master for murder yesterday after a woman's screams led them to break into his gymnasium, where they found bones believed to be of human origin.
Police in Bilbao forced open the doors of 47-year-old Juan Carlos Aguilar's gymnasium, Zen4, on Sunday when a neighbor reported hearing the woman's cries from within.
Inside, officers found a female victim of a "very violent attack" that left her in a coma, Basque deputy police chief Luis Cobo said the day after the discovery.
The martial arts instructor, described by Spanish media as a former kung fu world champion, was detained and formal charges must be filed within 72 hours of his arrest.
Police found bones in the gymnasium which appeared to be human remains, Cobo said. Scientists were conducting a DNA analysis to verify the suspicion, he said.
"If these are human remains, it remains to be determined whether they belong to one or several people," the deputy police chief added.
Aguilar, who set up his Ocean of Tranquility monastery, became known in the 1990s as the first Western master of the Shaolin school of kung fu, according to the Spanish media.
El Pais said he was a three-time kung fu world champion.
