A 22 year old woman in Jerez has become the fifth domestic violence fatality in Andalucia so far this year after being stabbed to death, allegedly by her former partner and father of her son who was caught still with the murder weapon in his possession.
The stabbing occurred at around two o’clock on Wednesday afternoon in avenida de Lebrija, near where the woman, Miriam, lived. She was stabbed several times, allegedly by her former partner, a 26 year-old man, and died from her wounds.
There was apparently no record of prior complaints of abuse although the detainee reportedly has an extensive criminal record.
