Elche woman held for attempting to murder another with a knife

Elche National Police

A 55-year-old resident of Elche has been incarcerated by the on-call court for an alleged attempted homicide. A woman was assaulted on the neck in her own home by a disguised man who was carrying a sharp object last Friday, March 7th. The incident was reported by CBD HERE https://costablancadaily.com/2025/03/12/woman-assaulted-in-her-elche-home/ earlier this week. The woman contacted the CIMACC 091 coordination room.

The woman was observed to be bleeding profusely upon the approach of the police patrol and specialists in violent crimes. According to the report, she was promptly transported to Elche General Hospital via a SAMU ambulance, as “her life could be in serious danger.”

The sole piece of information that investigators had was that a hooded man had entered the victim’s residence and struck her with a kitchen knife to the throat. The hooded man fled after the attacker began to cry for assistance and a struggle. The perpetrator was promptly identified through the implementation of numerous investigative avenues.

Despite the numerous initial investigative endeavours, none of them initially produced conclusive results. Nevertheless, the victim’s personal circle was not involved in the investigation, and the focus was on a 55-year-old Spanish woman who had allegedly engaged in a conflict with the victim “some time ago,” although the exact date is not specified.


It was determined that the assailant attacked the victim when she was alone after waiting for her husband to leave the house, as a result of the investigation. She pounded on the door and charged at her, causing a severe injury to her neck. “The knife’s blade was discovered at the scene, and as fate would have it, the handle detached from the blade.” This circumstance is believed to have saved her life, according to investigators.
