What happened?
The crime of domestic violence occurred on February 8, after an argument motivated by a “futile reason”, says the police, indicating that the suspect’s relationship with the victim began in early 2025.
The suspect allegedly approached the victim on a public street, next to a store, “starting to insult her and accusing her of cheating”, reads the PSP statement, which adds that the suspect “always presented a possessive and excessively jealous personality, insulting her and frequently insinuating that she cheated on him with several men”.
“When he reached the victim, the suspect slapped him and then tried to take the cell phone that he was holding in his hand, without success. As he was unable to remove the cell phone from the victim, he pushed her and slapped her again, causing her to lose her balance, with the son who was in his lap hitting his head against a door frame.”
The woman and her son were left with “visible injuries”.
The process culminated in the issuance of arrest warrants outside of flagrante delicto that were served on February 11. The suspect was interviewed by the police and was placed in preventive detention, the most serious measure of coercion.
