The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested a 30-year-old man as the alleged perpetrator of the sexual assault on a 95-year-old woman in Figueres (Girona), who was assaulted at midnight
on January 21
in her apartment on Calle Fages de Climent.
According to sources close to the case, the detainee,
about 30 years old
and of sub-Saharan origin, and who was the main suspect of the agents of the Girona Criminal Investigation Area (AIC) who had been handling the case since the day of the events, has acknowledged being the perpetrator of the sexual assault.
The events took place after 11:00 p.m., when the aggressor entered the old woman's apartment, on the ground floor, through a window that, according to research sources, was open.
Once inside the house, he brutally sexually assaulted the old woman in her
room
.
Shortly before midnight, the victim
was able to press the remote assistance button
he was wearing and a patrol from the Guardia Urbana showed up at the flat.
The agents
found her sitting on the floor of the room asking for help
and she was treated by the toilets who, in the face of what seemed like a violation, transferred her to the Figueres Hospital.
There she
was operated on for the vaginal injuries suffered as a result of the attack
and remained hospitalized until, according to sources from the center, last week she was taken to a Girona social-health center, waiting to fully recover and return home.
The old woman,
whose only family is some nephews who live in Badalona
(Barcelona), lives alone and has a caregiver who looks after her for a few hours a day.
The investigators took statements from several neighbors of the old woman and at least
two of them located the detainee
the night of the events in the block of flats, and according to them, it was not the first time he had come.
Once the police take a statement from the detainee, it is expected that he will be brought before the Investigating Court of Figueres that is handling the case.
