A 73-year-old man has died when he crashed the car he was driving into a tow truck shortly after, according to all indications,
killing his sentimental partner
, a
68-year
-old woman, with two stab wounds to the chest , at his home in Benidorm (Alicante).
Sources of the investigation have informed Efe that the events occurred yesterday and became known as a result of the fact that, at
10:10 p.m., the car driven by the man invaded the opposite lane
to collide head-on with a crane truck at kilometer 140 from the N-332 road, in the neighboring
municipality of Villajoyosa.
The driver of the truck was mild due to an anxiety crisis and treated at the Villajoyosa hospital, while the police went to the home of the deceased man to
inform his partner of the fatal traffic accident.
When the agents arrived they found the
door of the house open
and the victim's partner on the ground, deceased with two stab wounds to the chest.
The investigation carried out by the Benidorm National Police indicates that the man stabbed in a
sexist crime
and then took the car to either flee or take his own life in a traffic accident.
The couple had been living at that address on
Calle Alcalde Catalán Chana in Benidorm
for more than five years, although
they came from Zarautz
(Guipúzcoa), according to the sources consulted.
