Man arrested for killing his partner in Palma a year ago
Initially it was thought that he had died of natural causes.
PalmThe National Police have arrested a man in Palma as the suspected perpetrator of the murder of his partner in February 2025, almost a year ago. The arrest took place this Monday, eleven months after the woman's death, which was initially considered to be from natural causes, the Balearic Islands Police Headquarters reported. The initial hypothesis of the state security forces was that the woman, around 30 years old, had died from poisoning. However, the autopsy results revealed that the death, which occurred at her home, could have been caused by another person. Faced with this new line of investigation, the Homicide Unit opened an investigation and on Monday finally located and arrested the suspect, the victim's partner, who was arrested as the alleged perpetrator of homicide. The man, around 40 years old, is in police custody awaiting arraignment. He is not expected to appear before a judge today, Tuesday.
