The 32-year-old woman murdered by her 42-year-old husband last Wednesday afternoon in the Madrid municipality of Pozuelo de Alarcón had a low-risk protection order and was monitored by the Municipal Police because this town was integrated in Viogen, the comprehensive monitoring system in cases of Gender Violence.

In addition, the alleged murderer, Boutahez E., was subject to a restraining

order of 500 meters after the woman, Lobna H., denounced him for mistreatment last January

.

Despite everything, the alleged criminal lived in a cousin's house about 400 meters from his wife's house.

Today, Thursday, a trial was scheduled for the couple's divorce.

The Government delegation against Gender Violence confirmed today Thursday the sexist nature of the murder of women in Pozuelo, which leaves four orphans, and the number of women killed at the hands of their partners or ex-partners so far this year amounts to five and 1,131 since 2003.

The sexist crime occurred around 4:30 p.m. this Wednesday, when the agents received a call in the 091 room from a neighbor of the victim who had heard a big row at that address and who later knew nothing about the woman.

At the same time, the deceased's brother-in-law called 112 assuring that two of the couple's children, aged 12 and 9, had arrived at her house and

found their parents dead.

Several patrols moved to the place, located in a three-story building located on Calle del Consejo, where they located the lifeless bodies of a man and a woman in the same room.

The woman had stab wounds to the chest and neck, while the man also had cuts to the wrist and a knife to the chest.

After the complaint of mistreatment made by Lobna last January, the judge agreed on a restraining order for her husband.

In addition,

an inestimable risk for the victim was verified

.

However, the Municipal Police was monitoring the woman and a low-risk protection order was agreed for the woman.

Following the protocol established for this type of measure, he was given a telephone number for

direct contact with a Municipal Police officer who established regular contact with the victim.

In addition, her husband was informed that Lobna had a protection order and that she was being watched by the Municipal Police.

The Pozuelo City Council has confirmed that the murdered woman was in the Viogen system without explaining the degree of protection assigned to her.
