A 39-year-old man has been arrested in Torrevieja, Alicante, for the murder of a 35-year-old woman, in a possible case of sexist violence, something that is still being investigated. The detainee has a history of gender violence with an ex-partner, according to sources close to the investigation. The man has turned himself in at the offices of the Civil Guard.
In the statement, the alleged perpetrator of the crime has indicated that his partner was unconscious in the house after an argument in which both had attacked each other, according to sources from the Civil Guard. The agents displaced to the home have found the woman dead and with signs of violence. The investigation, carried out by the Judicial Police of the Torrevieja Civil Guard, continues to await the forensic report. The couple have a child in common, a minor, although it is unknown if he was present at the time of the events, but sources of the investigation say that he is currently with his grandparents.
If it is confirmed that it is a case of sexist violence, this would be the fifth woman murdered in the Valencian Community this year.
