Admiration Garcia-Dori, 27, was killed early Sunday when her lover attacked her with a knife during a confrontation that began in the night and ended in tragedy. He attempted to seek help by calling a friend and leaving a voicemail just moments before he himself was fatally stabbed. The victim’s friend received a message in which the assailant claimed that his wife was carrying a knife and urged the friend to contact the police. The threats and chaos culminated in multiple stab wounds that proved fatal for Garcia-Dori, with a neck wound identified as the critical injury.
Following the attack, the aggressor, William V., 29, attempted to cut his own throat and then leapt from the fifth floor in a bid to escape. A neighbor later reported hearing the killer say the words, The one you’re fighting with, before the fall. The fall did not end his life because the inner courtyard of the building cushioned the impact. He was rushed to Virgen de los Lirios de Alcoy Hospital and remained in intensive care as of the previous day. Authorities were unable to obtain a statement from him at the time due to his medical condition, and prosecutors considered extending his detention to monitor his progress.
The incident drew attention from local authorities and investigators as they documented the sequence of events. The caption under a nearby image noted the context of the case and the steady attention it received from the community and press at the time. The incident is part of ongoing concerns about violence against women and the role of law enforcement in preventing tragedy in domestic settings.
Reports indicate there was no prior public record of domestic abuse allegations against the aggressor before the incident, though neighbors had expressed concerns to police. Investigators in Alcoy collected statements from Garcia-Dori’s friends who were with the couple hours before the confrontation and gathered information about the couple’s recent pattern of meetings and separations. The case is being handled by the Alcoy Judicial Police Brigade, which is reviewing communications and timelines from the night of the incident.
In the aftermath, regional representatives reiterated that there were no prior complaints of ill treatment, even as some neighbors recalled hearing about a past incident. Police and prosecutors continue to piece together the sequence of events and verify the credibility of those accounts as investigations proceed.
The investigators noted that Garcia-Dori and the suspect had ended their relationship months earlier but had recently reconnected on several occasions. The wider community was reminded that such patterns can escalate quickly, underscoring the need for vigilance and support for those who may be at risk. Local authorities emphasized their commitment to addressing gender-based violence as part of a broader public safety effort across the Valencian Community.
Public demonstrations and moments of mourning followed the tragedy with rallies across the state to condemn sexist violence. Local governments and regional bodies organized moments of silence and public remembrances to honor Garcia-Dori and others who have suffered in similar circumstances. The aim was to mobilize communities to prevent violence and to support victims of domestic abuse through accessible resources and coordinated responses from police, social services, and community organizations.
Authorities have urged citizens to report any signs of coercion or threats and have highlighted the importance of immediate assistance for those in danger. The case has sparked conversations about the effectiveness of protective measures for victims and the need for timely intervention in potentially lethal domestic disputes. Community leaders continue to call for ongoing education and resources to reduce gender-based violence across all neighborhoods in the region.
