For this reason, the prosecutor requests a sentence of one year and seven months in prison for crimes of abuse in the family; mild coercion in the family environment; breaking and entering and a continued minor crime of unjust harassment.
The accused and the victim had a romantic relationship for just over two years, and lived together in a place in Madrid. The events date back to April 2021, when the man approached her to demand “in bad ways” that she make him food., after which slapped him in the face, according to the document from the Public Prosecutor’s Office.

“I’m going to cut your throat”
That same month, the couple broke up their relationship and she moved to another home, where a friend of hers lived with her husband, her mother and her son. The accused, “upset” by this decision, began sending threatening messages by phone to his son in which he warned him that if he did not kick his ex-partner out of his house “I was going to cut his throat” or “blow his face in with an axe.”
The man showed up at the new home, and started shouting from the street that “they were going to have problems” if they continued to shelter his ex-partner. Later, he climbed onto the roof of the house and climbed down with a rope to climb through the kitchen window. Over there, He grabbed the victim by the head and shook him with violence, but, upon seeing that the rest of the residents had called the police, he “escaped through the window again” and fled the scene.
