A man in his forties was recently apprehended in Granadilla de Abona, Tenerife, following a troubling incident involving his partner and their young child. The individual, a citizen of Italian descent, broke into the home of his partner, leading to a violent altercation that resulted in severe injuries.

The victim, identified as a 33-year-old Colombian woman, sustained wounds to her chest and head after being attacked with a knife. The severity of her injuries necessitated immediate medical attention, prompting her admission to the hospital.
