Villena (Alicante) (EFE)
The crime occurred at around 1:45 p.m. in a house in the San Francisco de Asís neighborhood of Villena, where the alleged assailant, a Spaniard, appeared at the home and inflicted fatal wounds on the victim, also a Spaniard.
The victim died practically instantly without the SAMU ambulance doctor being able to do more than certify death.
Arrested 50 kilometers from the crime scene
The alleged murderer fled aboard a vehicle and at around 3:00 p.m., was captured by the Civil Guard in the port of the city of Alicante, about 50 kilometers from the crime scene, where he was carrying the alleged knife. used in the murder.
The two men are neighbors of Villena and the agents continue to investigate what happened, waiting for the autopsy of the corpse to provide more data to finally clarify this case in which the main hypothesis points to jealousy.
Although at first it was speculated that the considered aggressor had gone to the port of Alicante with the intention of boarding the ferry to the Algerian city of Oran, the sources consulted by EFE seem to rule out this possibility given that the man is Spanish and lives in Villena. .
