Jaime R., the man who is being tried for stabbing his wife in Vitoriain Maialen Mazon in May 2023, had several blood stains on his clothes that belonged to the victim.
On Friday, the fifth session of the popular jury trial against this man was held in the Provincial High Court of Álava, for whom the Public Prosecutor's Office is requesting 45 years' imprisonment for murder with alevosy and cruelty, with the aggravation of kinship and gender; 8 years for each offence of abortion (a woman pregnant with twins) and 4 years for abandonment of the minor.
The crime occurred on the afternoon of May27, 2023, in an apartment in the Alavesa capital, but it was not known until the next day.
Today, two experts from the Ertzaintza have testified that a stain on his trousers and two stains on his shirt and slippers were investigated and concluded that blood stains coincided with Mazon's DNA.
Similarly, those responsible for toxicological tests, fibers, genetic tests and weapons studies have explained that the victim's wounds were "compatible" with one of the knives in the apartment where the crime occurred, although the weapon used was never found.
On the other hand, tests have shown that the victim had a "high" blood alcohol rate (1.55 grams per litre), and diazepan was also found at a "fully therapeutic" dose, which could have been taken the day before.
At the time of the murder, Jaime R. had a restraining order against him and was charged with gender-based violence in the Valencian Community. They had arrived a few days before the crime from Valencia to Vitoria, where they previously lived.
Mazon appeared as a victim of "extreme risk" in the state system for monitoring cases of gender-based violence VioGen , but was classified by the Ertzaintza as "low risk", a case that led the Ertzaintza to modify the protocols of action for such cases.
The trial will continue next week with more expert evidence, the statement of the accused and the final reports of the four indictments - Fiscaltza, Maialen Mazon's family, the Juvenile Council and the Clara Campoamor Association - and the defence lawyer.
