The National Police are looking for a man for the murder of a 25-year-old woman whose body was found on the night of the 25th in the Los Palmerales neighborhood of Elche (Alicante). The escapee was the sentimental partner of the woman, of Paraguayan nationality, who has died from a shot with a firearm. The Government Delegation Against Gender Violence has confirmed that it is a sexist crime.

The body was found around eleven o’clock on Christmas night in Los Palmerales, a neighborhood of Elche known for its conflict. The body of the young woman showed multiple signs of violence, and the agents displaced to the scene of the event collected all possible information on Sunday to try to clarify the facts. There were no previous complaints of gender violence against the alleged aggressor and the victim had a minor son and daughter, bringing the number of minors orphaned by sexist violence to 30 in 2021 and to 336 since 2013.
There are 43 women murdered in Spain in 2021, according to the official accounting of the Ministry of Equality, which started in 2003. Since then 1,125 women have been murdered. Since 2013, 45 minors have died at the hands of their fathers or their mothers’ partners, who are also considered victims of sexist violence.
The last two murdered are a 40-year-old woman and her 11-month-old daughter in Liaño de Villaescusa (Cantabria) at the hands of her ex-partner, who has been arrested and brought to justice. In this case, an investigation has been opened to find out why the restraining order failed. According to the first indications, the woman notified the Civil Guard, who went to the home the first time, but did not arrest the alleged murderer, who was there. Another 35-year-old woman in Torrevieja (Alicante) suffered a fatal beating allegedly inflicted by her partner, with whom she had a three-year-old girl. In the latter case, the aggressor turned himself in and confessed at the Civil Guard headquarters hours after the crime.
The Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, asked institutions and citizens last Monday to “be extremely vigilant” regarding violence against women during the Christmas holidays. “Sexist violence is that other great silent pandemic and I want to ask the institutions and citizens to get involved. Christmas is coming and, like any time when coexistence with the abuser increases, we are facing an increase in risk ”, claimed Montero.
