A man attacks his wife in Torrejon de Ardoz and commits suicide after the crime | community

This Sunday night, just before the end of the night, José Antonio J., 44 years old who works in a supermarket, rushed from the doorstep of a house in Torrejon de Ardoz. The veterans who were alerted to the collision were the ones who called the emergency services and who warned that this man could be inside the house where they live, minors who could be in danger, according to what was heard a while ago: he threatened to kill his daughters and later commit suicide.

Anna, the old man who lives on the doorstep with the couple, spent the morning this month in a place they had never heard of since they moved there in 2004, but this Sunday they heard a woman screaming: “No more! No more!” Only five minutes passed until the screaming stopped and the blows began to ring out. When Anna went out into the street to see what was happening, she saw that there was a pool of blood in the floor and the front door, where the couple lived, was locked. José Antonio was killed c. His wife and mother of his daughters.

When police and emergency responders arrived at the house, they had to deploy the detonators. The teens, ages 13 and 17, weren’t there, but the body of their mother, 45-year-old Mary Angeles M., was. She had multiple inheritances of the white pistol. The National Police’s main hypothesis, a sexist murder with the assailant committing suicide, was confirmed in the early afternoon of that same month.

Researchers have not been able to learn much after the couple’s daughters were with their attacker when they were born, and sources close to the investigation confirm that both he and she, both of whom have Spanish citizenship, have been in the VioGén system since 2022, to follow up on victims of male violence and their attackers.

Registration for this system opened in 2022 with an “unassessed” risk. Sources close to the investigation explain that after the conviction of an unidentified citizen, the so-called Protocol 0 was activated, a measure taken by security forces and state security bodies – without requiring the cooperation of a woman – when they detected signs indicating that violence could lead to violence; The protocol, which came into force in 2021, was specifically due to the various police forces in the state noticing the difficulties women face when it comes to reporting, which is what happened in this case.

During the investigation, the woman did not want to come forward or file a complaint, as is the case with the majority of murders linked to officially recorded sexual violence – only 296 out of 1,335 murders since 2003 were reported in advance, and in fact, 78% of those killed never reported their attacker – in this case she is “inactive”, which is currently the case.

José Antonio spent c. He and his partner spend their entire lives in Torrejon de Ardoz. He was one of the most famous people in the neighborhood. All the words Czech He had a reputation as an athlete because he ran every day with his dog. On Saturdays, he would go for a drink at a nearby bar with his wife and daughters, but for the past few months he had been alone.

The local dueno, José Campagna, with whom he had become friends over the years, one day asked about his family and told them that they were separating. At the commissions, when a woman goes to report, one of the first questions she asks is whether she is in the process of separating or divorcing because both police and courts know that these processes can constitute a catalyst for risk of aggression in cases of male violence.

Of the 1,335 deaths recorded, 213 of them were in the rupture stage; It was not included in 158 cases; “Do Not Continue” appears in another 300; 664 cases were not created, according to official data from the government delegate to combat violence against women.

This same month, the Ayuntamiento de Torrejón de Ardoz called for a minute of silence at 12.00 in the area’s Plaza Mayor to show its “dismay and utmost disgust” at the recent murder resulting from violence against women; A day of mourning was also declared during which the flag was raised in the air.

“With this law, we want to reject and condemn all forms of violence that are carried out, in their multiple manifestations, against women for the mere thought of being so. Violence is a serious violation of human rights and the greatest evidence of discrimination against women,” is what has been pointed out since the founding of the Foundation, and which has also been remembered since then. Municipal offices that, if they are a victim of sexual violence, “can reach the municipal point of the Regional Observatory on Sexual Violence”.
