In Alginet, a 64 year old man is reported to have killed his nephew’s partner, a 33 year old woman from Alginet in Valencia, before taking his own life by leaping from a window to a public street. The Civil Guard confirmed the violent death and opened an investigation into a suspected murder. Judicial proceedings were placed under confidentiality at the request of the authorities, as is common in such cases.
According to Levante-EMV, a member of the Prensa Ibérica group, municipal sources indicated that the incident occurred around 8:00 am, and officers were alerted by a tip from nearby witnesses.
Upon arriving at the scene on València de Alginet street, responders found two deceased individuals: a 64 year old man and a young woman identified as the partner of his niece. Early indications suggest a sequence in which the man killed the woman and then exited through a window to the street. At this stage, no additional details are available as investigators continue to process the scene.
