Killer Romanian Who Beat Girlfriend to Death Gets 18 Years

A 43-year-old Romanian man who beat his 42-year-old girlfriend to death in El Altet in November 2015, has been sentenced to 18 years behind bars by the Alicante Provincial Court in Elche. He has also been ordered to pay 50 thousand euro in compensation to the woman’s family

Eighteen months ago, the man appeared in a drunken state at an abandoned building that the couple were squatting in and he assaulted her using a variety of implements. He then left the scene and told a passer-by what had happened, before the police were called in.
