The Alicante Prosecutor has requested a sentence of fifteen years in prison for a man accused of allegedly assaulting his partner in the presence of their 3 year old son.

The incident occurred in February 2006, in the Los Balcones urbanization in Torrevieja, where the accused, MT, pulled his partner out of the bedroom in the presence of the son and proceeded to push and hit her repeatedly.

According to the prosecutor, the defendant, after assaulting his partner, kept them all imprisoned in their home for 3 weeks, so as to prevent the woman seeking assistance. He then threatened to kill his partner and persisted with a violent and aggressive attitude.
