Friday, June 28, 2024 -A Spanish model who bit off her boyfriend's tongue after he ended their relationship has been arrested after going on the run.
Adaia Lopez vanished after her horror attack
on her boyfriend in June 2016 and jetted to Thailand.
The 26-year-old beauty was caught on
Thursday night, June 27, after being tracked down to a squat in the Costa Brava
resort of Sant Antoni de Calonge north of Barcelona.
According to Mail Online, Police nabbed her
after an anonymous tip-off.
Lopez, who left her victim with
speech and taste problems, is set to be hauled to prison after appearing before
a judge so she can begin a six-year jail sentence for her violent revenge
assault.
Adaia, who went on the run last year, was
ordered to pay £50,000 compensation and given 15 days to enter prison after
being convicted of wounding her partner, 22 years older than her and identified
only by his first name of Aaron, following a lengthy legal process.
She made herself a fugitive by disobeying the court order and failing to show up at the prison gates before her 15 days were up.
Adaia, who met her ex on the Internet,
defended herself during her trial and claimed she had acted in self-defence
after suffering domestic violence which included an attempt to drown her.
But she was found guilty of using her teeth
as 'pincers' to rip out part of Aaron's tongue before spitting it out on the
ground after begging him for a 'last kiss' when he tried to break off their
relationship.
He reportedly needed professional help to
improve his speech problems and is said to have lost his sense of taste and the
ability to differentiate between salty and sweet foods.
The tongue attack happened on June 26 2016 at a house the former couple were sharing in Vilanova i Geltru near Barcelona, when Aaron was 40 and his then-girlfriend just 18.
The damage he suffered has been described
as 'irreversible.'
The victim's lawyer Pepe Rey claimed last
year after Adaia lost appeals against her conviction and sentence while she was
on bail that social media pictures showed she had been enjoying holidays in
Thailand.
He added: 'Here we have a lady who committed a serious crime, left someone without their tongue and right now is not where she should be which is in the hands of justice despite the fact she has a prison sentence hanging over her head.'
