Overview
- A woman of about 40 fell from a third-floor apartment in O Carballiño overnight and remains in serious but stable condition at the Ourense hospital.
- The Guardia Civil detained her 26-year-old partner on suspicion of involvement and he is expected to appear before the province’s specialized Violence Against Women judge.
- Ourense’s government subdelegate said initial police work rules out that the man threw her from the balcony.
- Investigators are weighing competing accounts after a reported argument and they have not ruled out an accidental fall.
- A witness placed the man outside the building before the fall and police say the woman later changed her initial accusation, steps that will guide the judge’s review of any charges.
