The First Section of the Provincial Court will judge on October 28 a woman accused of trying to kill her partner in Lanzarote in January 2018, for whom the Prosecutor's Office requests a sentence of 14 and a half years in prison.
According to the indictment, during the early hours of January 31, 2018, the accused was in the parking lot of the Deiland Shopping Center in Playa Honda in the company of her partner, who "in the course of an argument" proceeded "to stab him with a knife in the right thigh."
Later, at approximately 4:15 a.m. on the same night, while the accused and her partner were on the street, in front of the entrance to his home, the victim expressed "his intention to break off the relationship with her." Faced with this, the Public Prosecutor's Office maintains that the accused, acting "with the intention of causing the death of her sentimental partner", proceeded "to stab him with the same knife in the neck."
According to the Prosecutor's Office, the accused caused her partner "a two-centimeter penetrating wound," which "by affecting the external jugular vein, came to pose a life-threatening risk." Despite this, it was the victim who "called the emergency services, who arrived at the scene immediately, proceeding to stop the bleeding he was suffering."
A crime of injury and another of attempted homicide
The injuries suffered by the accused's partner required "specialized medical or surgical treatment" and "took 12 days to heal, of which seven were preventing him from his usual occupations and one was of hospitalization." In addition, the Public Prosecutor's Office points out that the victim suffered "an aesthetic prejudice," although he "has expressly renounced any civil and criminal actions that may correspond to him as a consequence of these events."
However, the Prosecutor's Office considers that the events constitute a crime of injury and another of attempted homicide, with the aggravating circumstance of kinship concurring in both cases. Thus, for the first of the crimes, it requests a sentence of five years in prison for the accused, while for the second it requests a sentence of nine and a half years in prison, making a total of 14 and a half years in prison.
