A woman subjected to two years of horrific physical, psychological and sexual violence in Malaga managed to save her life by whispering for help at her doctor's office.

That whisper set in motion a chain of events that culminated in the arrest of her partner as he was about to carry out a drug transaction on the street. The National Police seized the opportunity to rescue the victim from an ordeal from which she saw no escape.

According to police sources, the detainee subjected the victim to domination, control and isolation. He allegedly used her to satisfy his own personal and sexual desires, taking advantage of her vulnerable situation. He even kept her locked inside the home whenever he left to deliver drugs.
