A 39-year-old man turned himself over to the police and confessed he had slit his ex-girlfriend’s throat the night before on a street in the eastern Spanish town of Benaguasil.
Police officials told Efe on Friday that the man, who is under arrest, handed himself over after midnight Thursday and admitted that he had attacked the woman, 33, on a public street and had stabbed her to death.
This was Spain’s first death from gender violence in 2013, which last year took the lives of 46 women around the country.
