In prison the ex-policeman from Son Servera convicted of trying to kill his wife after being located in Madrid
The man was intercepted in Madrid, after having returned from Thailand, where he fled after the conviction ruling was issued
PalmThe former local police officer of Son Servera, convicted in 2024 to seven and a half years in prison for attempting to kill his wife, has surrendered to the authorities after being intercepted at Madrid airport, where he had arrived from Thailand, a country where he had remained hidden since fleeing after the sentence.
According to various media outlets and confirmed by Europa Press, agents at the Madrid airport identified the man a few days ago upon his return to Spain. Subsequently, he was handed over to judicial authorities and has now been imprisoned to serve his sentence. The events for which he was convicted date back to March 2018. The Second Section of the Provincial Court found it proven that the aggressor attempted to end his partner's life during an argument that began at their family home after a meal. The conflict erupted when the woman expressed her intention to go out with friends, and the man opposed it.
The sentence states that the ex-police officer adopted an aggressive attitude, grabbed the victim by the shoulders, insulted her, and hit her several times. Immediately afterward, he dragged her to the bathroom and then to the bedroom; he pulled her by a scarf with which he managed to press her neck forcefully, attempting to suffocate her with the intention of causing her death. The woman finally managed to free herself thanks to the kicks she delivered to her attacker. She then fled the home, first taking refuge in the bathroom and later going to a friend's house.
The court classified the events as an attempted homicide, understanding that if the victim had not managed to escape, the accused could have ended her life. The Civil and Penal Chamber of the High Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands (TSJIB) later confirmed the sentence. After learning of the verdict, the man removed his electronic monitoring bracelet, fled, and had been missing until his recent return from Thailand. His imprisonment brings an end to a flight that had lasted for months.
