Theincumbent of Pamplona Women's Violence Court No. 1 has declared the case of the death of a woman in Cizur in July to be murder and has decided to pre-trial proceedings by the court. The case against an 85-year-old man accused of the murder of his wife, 78 years old, on 29 July in Cizur Mayor, is being initiated.

In two court decisions handed down on the 2nd and 9th of last month (which may be appealed to the Provincial High Court), the judge continues the investigation proceedings, as reported by the Navarre High Court of Justice.

Thus, he has stated that he already has in his possession the reportof the forensic doctor, according to which the death of the woman was a "post-traumatic brain damage with the characteristics of "homicide . "According to this medical opinion, no injuries are observed as a result of the victim's self-protection or resistance to the aggressor, and he claims that the victim was a" fragile patient, senile, addicted and with Parkinson's and cognitive impairment ", with mobility problems and falls.

Among other evidence requested, the court is awaiting an expert report from the forensic practitioner on the capacity of the investigator both at the time of the incident and in the course of the judicial proceedings. 

For this reason, the judge has rejected the request for the filing of the case requested at this procedural time by the defendant's legal representation.

In mid-August last year, the Second Section of the Provincial High Court partially upheld a defence appeal, and in pre-trial detention since the day of the crime  agreed that the 80-year-old defendant should serve his sentence at home .
