El agresor tenía el arma reglamentaria retirada
A detailed report from Valencia describes a brutal case of domestic violence. A 52-year-old man, a Spanish Guardia Civil officer, was detained after allegedly beating his wife, attempting to strangle her, breaking several ribs, and leaving her hospitalized with injuries across her body. The motive appears to be a conflict over the couple’s breakup, with the wife seeking to end the relationship and the husband resisting the separation. At the time of the incident, the officer reportedly did not have his standard-issue firearm at home, as it had been withdrawn by the Guardia Civil after he went on medical leave for depression, according to the authorities.
The events unfolded last Tuesday around midday at the family home in the Benicalap neighborhood of Valencia. The couple’s older daughter, aged 23, raised the alarm when she returned from school at around 3 PM and found her mother severely injured, with a bleeding head wound and extensive bruising that left her almost unable to move. Police were alerted and an ambulance transported the victim to a hospital in the city, where she remained under medical care for the multiple injuries she sustained, reported by the emergency services and later confirmed by investigators.

Before being evacuated, the woman managed to tell the police that her husband had begun assaulting her after she told him she wanted to end the marriage. With this statement and the account provided by the daughter, authorities launched an investigation to locate the suspect. He was eventually detained and placed at the disposal of the judiciary. The detainee is a 52-year-old Spanish national who also works as a Guardia Civil officer, though he was reportedly on depression-related medical leave at the time. There had been no prior formal complaints of domestic abuse on record.

Following inquiries with the Armament Intervention service of the Guardia Civil, investigators from the UFAM confirmed that the weapon had been withdrawn due to the officer’s depression, and that there was no report of any private firearms in his possession. After stabilization, officers were able to interview the victim at the hospital, where she recounted that the assault began in the kitchen when she stated her intention to end the relationship.
Un sartenazo en la cabeza
During the confrontation, the husband grabbed a frying pan and struck his wife on the head, causing a bloody gash. She also alleged that he attempted to strangle her, followed by punches and kicks while she lay defenseless on the floor. She even reportedly pleaded for him to kill her to end the suffering. After the assault, the suspect cleaned up the scene and left the house, passing the older daughter on the way out.
The arrest was processed through Valencia’s Violent Crimes Court, which ordered provisional prison without bail. The case initially charges serious injuries within the framework of violence against women, with possible subsequent requalification as the investigation advances.
