Maracaibo woman defends herself against domestic attacker

A woman in Maracaibo, Zulia state, bit off part of her partner's ear while defending herself during a violent domestic attack on Saturday night, September 12.

The alleged aggressor has been identified as 30-year-old Crisleyquer Ruiz, reportedly a former official of the National Anti-Extortion and Kidnapping Command (CONAS) of the Bolivarian National Guard.
