Ex of British Mother Killed in Spain Remanded as Funeral Set for Today

The case centers on prior threats despite a restraining order that friends say was repeatedly breached.

Overview

  • Victoria Hart, 33, was fatally stabbed at her home in Alhaurín el Grande on January 24, and the Civil Guard is investigating.
  • Her former partner surrendered the same day and was remanded in custody following a first court appearance on Tuesday, according to UK local reporting.
  • Her funeral was scheduled to be held on Wednesday in Alhaurín el Grande following a town-declared day of mourning.
  • Friends say Hart had installed security cameras after reporting death threats in October and obtaining a restraining order that was frequently violated.
  • A GoFundMe to support her three children has raised more than £40,000, and authorities await Ministry of Equality confirmation to record the death as a gender-violence case.
