The judge sends the ex-husband of the Nicaraguan murdered in Utrera (Seville) to prison

The head of the Investigating Court number 2 of Utrera (Seville), competent in gender violence, has ordered the entry into prison without bail for the husband of Erica Vanessa Reyes, the young Nicaraguan murdered last Monday in the Seville town.

Sources from the Superior Court of Justice of Andalusia (TSJA) have informed EFE that the person detained for these events will enter a Seville prison this Thursday, predictably in Seville II (Morón de la Frontera)..

Once this decision has been made, the alleged perpetrator of the events is under investigation and, throughout the investigation, it will be determined whether it is homicide or murder..

The detainee appeared before the judge after the sister of the deceased, Ana, and the victim's current partner did so, in a process that began at 10:00 in the morning, while the alleged murderer appeared at noon before the judge.

The detainee has refused to testify, an attitude he has maintained since he was arrested on Monday afternoon in a hostel in the Seville town. In fact, his appearance lasted only nine minutes, just enough time for his lawyer to communicate that he was not going to give a statement in accordance with the fundamental rights of article 24.2 of the Constitution..

The entry into prison has been requested by the Prosecutor's Office and endorsed by the family's lawyer, José Antonio Sires, who argued this Wednesday in statements to EFE that there could be a risk of flight if he is released.

The case is under summary secrecy, which was ruled last Tuesday, 24 hours after the events occurred.. Erica Vanessa Reyes, 22, who had not denounced her attacker for ill-treatment, was found dead on Monday, July 31, at her home with a strong blow to the head..

The perpetrator of the murder is presumably her husband, a 43-year-old Ecuadorian man who fled and was found hiding in a hostel on Monday, according to sources close to the investigation..
