A man kills his wife in front of their 12-year-old son and then commits suicide
A 53-year-old man allegedly murdered his wife yesterday (Sunday) in front of their 12-year-old son and then took his own life, in the town of Antella in Valencia.
The incident occurred at around 3:00pm when the man, of Spanish nationality, allegedly repeatedly stabbed his partner, a 38-year-old Moroccan woman, at their home.
After committing the murder, the man committed suicide by cutting his own throat, as reported by the Guardia Civil in Valencia.
Sources close to the investigation have told EFE that apparently, the couple were going through a separation and filing for divorce and that there were no previous complaints between the couple for domestic violence and, therefore, there was no restraining order.
The Guardia Civil has reported that the removal of the corpses was carried out by the Judicial Committee of the Alzira Court which also ordered an autopsy, while the Organic Unit of the Judicial Police of Valencia instructed proceedings, including the son being taken into care by social services.
