He appeared on a popular talk show broadcast just days before his ex girlfriend was fatally stabbed

It’s been revealed that the man in custody for the murder of a Russian woman in Alicante this weekend appeared on an Antena 3 talk show recently to ask his ex girlfriend to take him back.

The Información newspaper names the suspect as Ricardo, and says he appeared on the programme ‘Diario de Patricia,’ in a show which went out last week. It seems the couple had split up a month ago and he wanted to restart their relationship. His ex partner, named by Información as Svetlana, refused his public plea, and was stabbed in the neck on Sunday, allegedly by Ricardo. She died in hospital on Monday morning.

The paper said the suspect has a record of domestic violence, both against the 30 year old woman who died and his previous partner, with news from El País that he was subject to a distancing order.

The victim left behind a two year old son, whose custody will be taken on by the Generalitat de Valencia.
