The Second Section of the Navarre Court has ordered that the provisional detention imposed on an 85-year-old woman, imprisoned on July 30 for the death of her husband in Zizur Mayor, be served at a residence designated by her children. The court ruling, which cannot be appealed, requires the presence of her children outside the prison to be monitored using a telematic device. The court rejected the annulment of the pretrial detention, finding that the investigating judge's ruling was not flawed in its reasoning.
