A “context” of “violence” within the family which “apparently” even led the victim’s daughter to contact the National Police “a few minutes before” the tragic event. Thus, according to the first hypotheses, a septuagenarian from the town of Aranda de Duero, in Burgos, was killed by a knife on Thursday afternoon.
The man’s lifeless body was found by the deceased’s own son and partner of the alleged perpetrator of the violent death, upon his return home, after going out to “resolve certain questions”, according to the deputy government delegate in Burgos, Pedro de la. The woman, her granddaughter as well as her mother and widow of the deceased were transferred to a shelter and the couple was registered in the VioGén protection system in a case described as “extreme”.
When she found the body, her husband was no longer there, so immediately the National Police – in charge of the investigation – activated a vast search system in collaboration with the Civil Guard, initially focused on the “surrounding towns” and in places where the alleged criminal owns or frequented. “Completely identified”, he was arrested this Friday afternoon in the Segovian town of Carabias, about 140 kilometers from Aranda de Duero.
With a company vehicle at his disposal, he had mobility possibilities, so from the start they did not rule out that he had distanced himself after committing the crime.
And when he was located, it was not easy for the agents of the National Police, because, as the Government Sub-delegation reports, “He put up strong resistance to the police.“colliding” with a Corps vehicle.
On the afternoon the crime occurred, the atmosphere in the home of the Benjamín Palencia Street, in the Station district of the riverside city, was already tense and the reasons are still being studied. Even though “it seems that the the context was appropriate for there to be this situation of violence”, underlined De la Fuente. At one point, the only ones left inside were the victim and the alleged aggressor. So, from the beginning, the investigation was pointed to “the close environment” and, in particular, the partner of one of the victim’s daughters as responsible for the crime.
Meanwhile, the wife of the alleged perpetrator, the daughter and her mother – widow of the deceased – are in a shelter included in the VioGén protection system for victims of gender violence in a case described as “extreme “.
