Love can grow even behind bars. Recent reports reveal new details about a dramatic case from Valencia. The story centers on a young woman, identified here as Majé, and her partner in crime, David M. R. The couple is connected to the murder of Majé’s husband, a crime that led to a 22 year sentence at Picassent prison in Valencia. While Majé’s partner has been publicly named, less has been disclosed about his role behind the walls. David M.

The victim was found tied to a container of butane and dumped in the Xúquer river after sustaining multiple stab wounds.
Profile: How is Majé’s partner David M. R. faring behind bars?
David has been incarcerated since June 2008 for the murder of a 27-year-old named Hugo Sáez. The victim was stabbed and his body cast into the Xúquer river with a can of butane, a shocking detail that drew heavy media attention in the Valencia area. Reports from Levante-EMV, a publication from the Prensa Ibérica group, indicate that the case involved a dramatic confrontation and a violent conclusion in the river corridor. The discovery came when a friend of the deceased spotted a body near the river’s edge at the Azud crossing and pulled the lifeless form from the water.
David is expected to complete his sentence this coming summer, with a projected 15 years remaining in some accounts. At present he is 38 years old. Sources indicate there have been no reported incidents in the 29th module of Picassent prison and that he continues to serve his time without notable disciplinary issues. He has reportedly taken advantage of certain prison permits.
What will happen to the baby the couple is expecting?
The relationship between Majé and David has involved emotional strain and complexity that stretched over several months before the pregnancy. The pressing question for readers concerns the fate of the unborn child. It is anticipated that Majé will be transferred to Fontcalent prison in Alicante in the near future, where she is expected to enter a birthing module. Plans regarding the child will depend on decisions made by authorities and on the outcome of the case. If there is any plan for post release care, it would involve Majé’s ability to coordinate with relatives and the ongoing supervision of the prison system.
Legally, the newborn could remain with Majé in prison for a period that may extend to several years, but after a certain point the child would typically transition to the care of close relatives. Throughout this period, visits with the mother would continue within prescribed limits, ensuring contact while maintaining safety and security controls.
