The Investigating Court number 2 of Utrera (Seville) has agreed this Thursday to enter provisional prison communicated and without bail for N.A.C.T, 43 years old, arrested for the death of his ex-partner, V.R.A, 22 years old. The woman’s body was found last Monday at her home, with a strong blow to the head.
This has been communicated by the Superior Court of Justice of Andalusia (TSJA), which has also clarified that the man is under investigation, although throughout the investigation “it will be specified whether it is homicide or murder.” The case is under summary secrecy.
The detained man – like his wife, of Nicaraguan origin – has passed this Thursday, August 3, at the judicial disposal in the court number 2 of the Sevillian town. The maximum legal term expired in fact this Thursday afternoon, since the man was arrested last Monday around 5:30 p.m. He has entered the courts of Utrera around 12:00.
In his first statement before the Civil Guard, he has denied the facts, according to sources close to the case. Likewise, the lawyer for the victim’s family, José Antonio Sires, criminal lawyer at Sires Abogados, told Europa Press that he will raise a reviewable permanent prison sentence for “having knowingly and deliberately killed his partner, doing it surprisingly and without the deceased having the possibility of defending herself or fleeing”. The accusation will focus on a crime of consummated murder with the aggravating circumstances of kinship and treachery.
The victim, the second fatality in the province of Seville so far this year – the ninth in Andalusia – had not requested help from the social services of the Utrera City Council in relation to alleged ill-treatment, as confirmed by municipal sources consulted. Likewise, there are no records of his complaints in the VioGén system, according to sources from the Government Delegation in Andalusia. Her ex-husband has no criminal record.
The Nicaraguan community, through the Seville-Spain association, has asked for help to pay for the repatriation of the victim’s body to Peru, an operation that costs 6,000 euros.
