The man arrested for killing his pregnant partner in Manresa locked her up so that no one would see the wounds of her mistreatment

Ten days passed between the murder of a 31-year-old woman four months pregnant and the Mossos arrested her partner as the alleged perpetrator of the crime. More than a week in which investigators harbored doubts about the spouse's guilt and wondered if the woman could have accidentally fallen down the stairs. However, during this time a multitude of evidence has been collected that leaves little doubt about what happened on May 6 and that clearly cornered the arrested person.

Several people in the environment defined the defendant as "an aggressive person, who regularly assaulted the victim, who had even held her back on occasions to prevent people from seeing the marks of violence that he had provoked, and who had also a jealous, controlling and possessive attitude”. This is how it is collected in a car, the Manresa judge who this Wednesday has decreed provisional detention without bail for the detainee, accused of a consummated homicide crime.

The paramedics found the body in an unnatural position and it did not appear that it had fallen down the stairs. The arrested man had moved the body of her deceased after killing her simulating an accidental fall. The young woman had two traumas, one to her face and the other to her abdomen, and the forensic doctor on duty found that the probable cause of her death was not a fall down the stairs but suffocation. "There were marks around the neck of the deceased, and she had traces of foam at her mouth, a typical symptom of deaths by suffocation." In addition, traces of blood were found outside the place where the body appeared and the investigators also appreciated that the kitchen floor had been scrubbed.

The events occurred in a basement on Gaudí street in the Sagrada Familia neighborhood of the capital of Bages. The woman had been partying with her partner and several of her friends in an apartment near where they lived. Her partner "did not like that she was there with them, apparently it bothered him that she was having a good time and he decided to take her home and then return to the party alone." He arrested, drove her home, murdered her and then returned to the party with her friends.

He was checking his girlfriend's phone and found a conversation with an ex-partner in an affectionate tone. While the victim was talking to his cousin, the defendant took the phone from her hands and began to talk to her cousin. The hypothesis suggested by the court is that from that moment on, the investigated man assaulted her by hitting her several times and finally suffocated her, ending her life. The judge points out that the motive for the crime "was jealousy motivated by WhatsApp messages and motivated by the suspicion that the woman wanted to leave him to return to her ex-partner."

After committing the crime, the defendant returned to the party and told his friends that he had left his partner "drunk and sleeping", a comment that surprised them since the woman was not drunk when she left the apartment. The friends, who testified against the defendant, remember that when he returned to the party "he took several lines, he was very nervous and spoke Arabic all the time."

One of his friends, who accompanied him to his house at the end of the party, heard how the defendant spoke in Arabic with his mother and confessed that "he had done something very serious." When he got home, he explained to his friend that his wife had fallen down the stairs and ordered him to call 112. In the recording of the conversation, the friend can be heard speaking, but in the background the defendant is telling him what he has. what to say.
