  • Alicante A man allegedly kills his partner in Alfàs del Pi

The 52-year-old man who was wanted since Tuesday for allegedly stabbing to death his romantic partner, a 44-year-old woman, in a home in Alfas

del Pi (Alicante)

was arrested early this Wednesday.

Sources in the case have informed EFE that the arrest occurred this Wednesday although at the moment no further details have been offered.

The crime was committed in the early hours of Sunday to Monday in a house in the urban area of ​​l'Alfàs, on

Figuera Street

, although it was known yesterday around 2:00 p.m. when the Civil Guard found the body of the murdered woman, who had two children from a previous relationship.

Since then, a search device was activated for his romantic partner, who also has two children with another different woman and who had a history of mistreatment of the latter, which was successfully concluded this morning.

From the beginning, the investigators' main hypothesis is that it is a sexist crime committed in a small town that is distraught and whose city council has declared three days of mourning.
