Eduardo JR stands accused in a case that captured the regional spotlight this Monday as reports circulated that he is the prime suspect in a fatal stabbing that claimed the life of his partner in Alzira. The alleged crime prompted a rapid response from the investigative judiciary, and the suspect was moved to provisional detention without bail by order of the seventh investigating judge in Alzira. He provided a brief statement to the court soon after ten in the morning, before being transferred to the courthouse for formal processing.
The accused had been located in Chella only days earlier, after a period of concealment following the incident. The crime in question is described as a violent act that ended the life of a 53-year-old woman, Amparo Montalvá, at the cottage she shared with her partner. The victim’s passing prompted a wave of concern in the community, as authorities worked to piece together the events surrounding the alleged execution and the circumstances that led to it.
Amparo Montalvá’s death came to light on June 7, when her daughter discovered her body at the chalet she inhabited with her romantic partner, the man now identified as Eduardo JR. He had not been at home at the time of the discovery, raising questions about his whereabouts in the days prior. In the wake of the discovery, investigators launched a widespread search for the suspect, committing resources to locating him. Despite initial efforts, he remained elusive for several days, which intensified the urgency of the manhunt across the region. The search spanned multiple locations and involved coordinated work by regional police and investigative teams who pursued leads that emerged as information came in from various sources.
In the end, a Chella-based local police officer played a pivotal role by pinpointing Eduardo JR and delivering him to the investigators overseeing the case. The handover marked a turning point in the inquiry, enabling prosecutors and detectives to secure the suspect and begin the formal legal process that accompanies provisional detention. The sequence of events—from the discovery to the arrest—has become a focal point for ongoing public briefing, as authorities continue to outline the steps in the judicial procedure and the next phase of the prosecution.
