The National Police have detained a 39-year-old man on suspicion of murdering his 34-year-old partner in the couple’s Sagunto home in Valencia, adding another case to a weekend marked by several acts of gender-based violence. The incident occurred in the municipality of Sagunto, with follow-up details emerging from the High Security Directorate as investigators piece together the sequence of events.
Initial reports indicate the woman died from stab wounds inflicted by her partner. Investigators are also examining how the woman’s 13-year-old daughter fell from an upper floor into the inner courtyard of the residence. The girl sustained serious injuries and was transported to Sagunto Hospital for urgent care. Preliminary information suggests the perpetrator first attacked his wife and then threw the child from the window, prompting a broader inquiry into familial violence dynamics and the surrounding circumstances. It remains a developing case as investigators gather evidence.
Another child, an eight-year-old, was present in the home and initially escaped harm. The National Police stated that the investigation is ongoing and that all lines of inquiry are being pursued to determine the full context of the event. The incident unfolded shortly after eight o’clock on Wednesday night, prompting a swift response from law enforcement and emergency services. [Fuente: Policía Nacional]
