The Civil Guard has arrested the ex-partner of Estela Blach, the 36-year-old woman murdered last Friday in Baiona (Pontevedra), as the alleged perpetrator of a crime of gender violence. Since April, the man had a restraining order that prevented him from getting closer than 200 meters to the victim, who appeared in the VioGén monitoring system as a medium-risk case.
It was the now detained man who, at dawn on Friday, called the 112 Emergency service to raise the alert. He then claimed that he had found Estela at the door of his house, so he covered her with a blanket and took her into the house before notifying the paramedics. When the emergency services arrived, he fled while shouting that he was not going to “eat that brown.”
The autopsy confirmed that the cause of Estela’s death was blows to the head. The Xunta, in the words of its president, Alfonso Rueda, has promised that it will make “all the resources for care and psychological support” available to the deceased, a minor.
After the minute of silence called this Monday at the Government Subdelegation in Pontevedra, Lieutenant Colonel Óscar Graña, interim head of the province’s Civil Guard Command, pointed out that investigators believed that the suspect had not gone far from the parish. of Belesar where the events occurred. “We are searching the area, intensifying the search in that area. He is knowledgeable about that area and we think he must be there,” he noted. However, it was not until early this Thursday when the Subdelegation confirmed the arrest.
