A woman said that her sister was in a condition of “constant fear” that made it hard for her to live a regular life. The police investigation that led to the man’s arrest says that he threatened her through WhatsApp, saying that something “very bad” was going to happen to her and even suggesting that he would cut her up.
The event took place on the night of December 8th in an apartment in Málaga. A call to the local police emergency line (092) reported an incidence of gender-based assault. This led to a considerable number of policemen being sent to the scene, including patrols from the area closest to the event.
When they got there, the officers talked to the victim’s sister, who said that the couple, who had a child together, fought all the time. She also added that her sister was always afraid since her brother-in-law had threatened her.
Local police started looking into the case and found many WhatsApp messages on both the victim’s and the suspect’s phones. These messages made the woman very worried and even suggested that something bad was going to happen to her and that he was going to cut her up.
Officials looked at the victim’s and suspect’s cell phones and confirmed that their reports were true. They also saw that the person had deleted several of the messages they had sent during the fights from WhatsApp, which was another sign that they were lying.
The police operation found enough evidence to arrest the 45-year-old guy from South America and turn him over to the courts for allegedly making threats.
