A court is keeping an investigation open to determine if a resident of Motril (Granada) who died last May in a traffic accident was already traveling lifeless and had been murdered prior to the vehicle accident. Her partner, a Civil Guard agent who was traveling with her, committed suicide hours later.

As reported to EFE by sources from the Armed Institute, which took charge of the case before referring the proceedings to a court, the investigation is still open to determine when and how the victim, a 39-year-old woman, died.

Her death was linked to the traffic accident she suffered on May 6 when she was traveling with her husband, a Civil Guard agent who emerged unharmed from the accident but took his own life hours later with his service weapon. At first it was thought that the husband committed suicide because he could not bear the guilt after the death of his wife, although new investigations seem to deny this version and point to him as his possible murderer.

The accident occurred, according to the first data, when he wanted to avoid an obstacle on the road, he swerved and caused the car to leave the road and fall down a drop of about three meters.

Civil Guard sources have pointed out that, as with any other victim of a traffic accident, the woman underwent an autopsy, which would have made it possible to find out if she died from injuries compatible with a crash or of another type.

According to the program En boca de todos, by Cuatro, the woman died of mechanical suffocation, strangled, before the car in which she appeared lifeless with her husband had the accident.
