Man arrested in Cota 905 after assaulting ex-partner with pipe and knife
The director of the Scientific, Penal and Forensic Investigation Body (CICPC), Douglas Rico, informed via his Instagram account on 31 March of the arrest of a 27-year-old man identified by the initials J.A.Y.C., accused of repeatedly assaulting his ex-partner in the El Naranjal sector, El Paraíso parish, in Cota 905, Caracas. According to eldiario.com, the victim was beaten with a pipe in various parts of her body inside her own home.
According to Rico, the motive for the assault was the accused man's refusal to accept the end of the romantic relationship. After the first complaint was filed with the CICPC, the man attacked the woman again.
"He locked her in her room and attempted to sexually abuse her; furthermore, he stabbed her with a knife-type sharp weapon," Rico detailed in his post.
The man was arrested in Cota 905 after the victim filed a formal complaint. The woman is recovering from the injuries sustained.
When officers checked the detainee's identity in the Police Investigation and Information System (Siipol), they found he had seven criminal records: drug possession, generic theft, generic robbery, psychological violence, illegal firearm possession and causing panic in the community. The case was referred to the Public Prosecutor's Office.
