The man imprisoned in Pamplona after the death of his former partner after falling from a third floor has been provisionally released

The head of Pamplona Court of First Instance No. 1 has released the man whohas been in prison since 14 April for the deathof his former partner, two days earlier in the Navarre capital, after the woman died after falling from a third floor of a flat in the San Jorge neighbourhood.

The Public Prosecutor's Office has requested provisional release and the investigator is charged with illegal detention and violation of a precautionary measure.

The judge asserts that the accused "cannot alter the evidence"and that the penalties he faces allow for less restrictive measures than pre-trial detention.

According to the car, which is subject to appeal, the case includes reports from the local police, recordings of the building's doorway and witness statements, including the residents of the house and the manager of a bar that saw the couple.

The resolution states that the victim and the investigator had had a prior sentimental relationship, which led to a complaint of ill-treatment, resulting in a restraining order issued in September 2025, which, according to the magistrate, the two failed to comply with because they lived together and were still in contact.

The judge has admitted that the man closed the door to the house on the day of his death, but has stressed that there were other people locked up inthe house, adding that the decision to get out of the window was "personal and unfortunate" on the part of the woman in a context of relationship marked by breakups and reconciliation.

He also considers it proven that there was no discussion prior to the fall beyond the victim's intention to leave the house and points out that he was under the influence of alcohol and other substances. The judge concludes that since the investigator has work and family roots in Navarre, pre-trial detention is not necessary to ensure his presence in the proceedings.
