Spain ? A Spaniard who defied a restraining order and went on a television show to beg his estranged girlfriend to marry him, only to be snubbed, was ordered jailed Wednesday on suspicion of stabbing her to death, officials said.

Ricardo Navarro, 30, had been convicted three weeks ago of abusing the woman, a Russian identified only as Svetlana, and a court issued an order barring him from coming within 500 yards of her, a court said.

Still, Navarro and the woman took part in a popular daytime TV talk show on Nov. 14, during which he fell to his knees, cried and offered her an engagement ring.

“I want you to marry me. You are everything to me. Everything,” Navarro told the woman on “Diario de Patricia” on the Antena 3 network.

The woman, also 30, said she did not want to marry him or reconcile in any way. Four days later, she was found with her throat cut in the elevator of her apartment building in the eastern city of Alicante. She died Monday, and police arrested Navarro.
