The 40-year-old woman stabbed to death by her partner in Móstoles dies after starting the separation procedures
María, the 40-year-old woman who was allegedly stabbed in the neck by her partner at a home in Móstoles at dawn last Monday, died this Thursday at the hospital where she was admitted in critical condition, according to sources from the Hospital October 12 of Madrid. The victim was already admitted in critical condition after losing a lot of blood. The alleged attacker, 52 years old and who was arrested after the attack, had no prior records or complaints. The attack occurred after the woman recently initiated the separation procedures. On the day of the crime, he had not met his lawyer, contrary to what was initially indicated by the neighbors..
The couple's 13-year-old son was the one who raised the first alarm and, after witnessing the attack, went down the stairs of the block to alert the neighbors, who called 112 at 6:10 in the morning.. The first to arrive was a Civil Guard agent who lived in the block and who found the man on the landing armed with a knife. He came to make an intimidating shot and went into the house.
The agents of the Municipal Police and the National Police then arrived at the property, but the alleged attacker, a Spanish national, refused to open the door for them for several minutes.. At one point, the man opened the door a little and the agents managed to open it and enter the interior where the assailant was next to the victim, who had lost a large amount of blood from a penetrating wound by a knife in the neck.
After arresting her partner, the agents helped the woman, who had gone into cardiorespiratory arrest, for which they began resuscitation maneuvers until the arrival of the Medical Emergency Service (SUMMA 112). Once the victim's pulse had recovered, she was transferred in critical condition to the 12 de Octubre hospital in the capital, where she underwent emergency surgery.
A neighbor of the property confirmed that the victim's parents had moved to the same building from the municipality of Cenicientos because the couple had “marital problems” and wanted to help the victim with the care of their 13-year-old son.
If the macho nature of this crime is confirmed, the number of women killed by their partners or ex-partners in Spain would rise to 16 so far this year (the first fatality in the Community of Madrid), so the number of women murdered would amount to 1,200 since 2003, according to data from the Government Delegation against Gender Violence.
