Palma Judge Orders Pretrial Detention for Partner in 2025 Death Reclassified as Homicide

Forensic tests overturned the initial overdose hypothesis by finding fatal neck compression.

Overview

  • A. G.B., 42, was arrested this week after a months-long Policía Nacional Homicide Group inquiry into the 3 February 2025 death in La Soledat.
  • He appeared at Palma’s Vía Alemania courts before the Violence Against Women judge, who ordered his immediate imprisonment on a homicide charge.
  • The suspect denied the allegations in court, previously telling police he does not remember what happened.
  • Investigators say evidence points to his responsibility; early scene observations of drug remnants led to a mistaken overdose theory later ruled out by autopsy and lab analysis.
  • Authorities report no prior domestic-violence complaints between the couple, though records show earlier violence toward a former partner and drug-related offenses.
