KILLER SENTENCED THE man who ended his partner’s life after stabbing her over 100 times in La Viñuela, has been sentenced to 23 years in jail. Malaga’s Provincial Court found him guilty of first-degree murder as they proved the defendant ended María Adela’s life in a ‘premeditated and cruel’ manner. The gavel has finally come down for José Manuel O T after he stabbed his partner to death in February 2018. Following the popular jury’s unanimous decision, the defendant must also compensate the victim’s only child with €175,400. After a four-month relationship, José Manuel pounced on defenceless María Adela in her own home, and repeatedly drove a knife into her.

OFFICERS ATTACKED ON DUTY

THE events occurred in the early hours of Monday in the town of Alta Axarquía. During a routine breathalyser test performed by the Guardia Civil, an individual, who had been stopped by the officers, refused to undergo the corresponding test and became aggressive. One officer suffered a sprained wrist from a fall when pushed by the aggressor and the other officer needed stitches to his ear and chin after allegedly being punched twice in the face by the same individual. With great difficulty, the officers were able to immobilise and arrest the alleged aggressor, who offered great resistance at all times. The individual, a 30-yearold mechanic from the area, was accompanied by his girlfriend, and is being investigated for an alleged crime against law enforcement officers and another for reckless driving. According to reports, this is not the first time that the aggressor has had a traffic altercation with the officers of the Guardia Civil who patrol the municipality, although until now he had not

physically assaulted anyone. The mayor, Rafael Torrubia (PSOE), lamented the incident and wished “a fast recovery to the injured officers.”
