Overview

  • The woman died Monday after falling from a fifth-floor apartment in Llíria’s Plaça de Pedralba.
  • Guardia Civil say early inquiries rule out homicide, and her body was taken to the Instituto de Medicina Legal de Valencia for autopsy.
  • The case emerged when she alerted an ex-partner via WhatsApp that she had been held against her will for 12 days, prompting the Guardia Civil’s Operación Amarres.
  • A July 28 search of the suspect’s home recovered multiple firearms, 47 grams of cocaine and devices with sexual recordings that police say corroborated her report.
  • The 57-year-old suspect was arrested on charges including illegal detention, sexual assault, domestic violence, firearms offenses and drug trafficking, then released with a restraining order after a judge rejected prosecutors’ bid for pretrial detention.
