Overview
- Police in Torrent arrested a 28‑year‑old man on suspicion of sustained physical and psychological abuse of his partner, who had recently given birth.
- Specialized UFAM officers opened the inquiry in mid‑May and say the alleged violence began during the woman’s pregnancy and continued after the child was born.
- Investigators report the suspect threatened to take the baby and used the child to exert emotional control over the victim.
- The victim fled the home and temporarily sheltered with a neighbour to avoid further assaults, and the suspect was taken before a judge who ordered a 300‑metre no‑contact restriction.
- The detainee has prior police records and the case remains in the judicial process while authorities continue protective measures and the UFAM investigation.
