The Municipal Police arrested last Sunday morning a 42-year-old Colombian man accused of trying to end the life of his wife, 51 years old and of the same nationality, in the apartment where the couple lived, located at number 92 of Villajoyosa Street in the Madrid district of Villaverde. The victim was stabbed in the neck and lost a lot of blood. She was treated by the doctors of the Samur and transferred to the Hospital 12 de Octubre.

The events happened around 06.55 hours on the second of April. A woman came out of her home with a neck wound. She said she had been stabbed by her partner and was first treated by a neighbor who plugged the wound with a towel.

The agents of the Municipal Police of the district of Villaverde arrived first at the site of the sexist aggression, in Villaverde Bajo, and found the entire portal of the house full of blood. The victim was on the street in a very upset state.

One of the policemen suspected a man who was on the other side of the sidewalk from Villajoyosa Street looking at the woman as the Samur doctors arrived. The agents of the Municipal Police came to interrogate him and admitted that he was the couple of the wounded, although he offered an implausible version. She said she had injured herself by pounce on him. They did not believe him and, in addition, the woman later reported that she had been assaulted by her partner.

At the time, a patrol car of the National Police also arrived at Villajoyosa Street. The agents entered the home of the Colombian couple and found in the sink a bloody knife that the aggressor used to attack his partner.
