Individual taken into custody in Marbella, Malaga, due to suspicions of fatally harming his romantic partner.
A 47-year-old man from Bulgaria finds himself in hot water over a tragic incident that took place in Marbella this past weekend. He's been slapped with allegations of taking the life of a 53-year-old woman, who shared a romantic relationship with him.
The National Police shed light on this grim discovery, revealing the woman's body contained visible signs of violence. The crime scene was set in an abandoned lot on Velez Street, with the suspect surrendering to the authorities after the crime. Despite his early turn-in, the authorities had already identified him, according to insider police reports. The zone remains sealed off by the National Police, with experts from the scientific unit already inspecting the area and collecting evidence.
The site is situated away from regular traffic, plunged in darkness and hidden behind a gas station on the road leading from Marbella to Malaga.
As authorities, the Delegation of the Government Against Gender Violence, are exploring the possibility that this chilling act falls under the umbrella of gender-based violence.
In another grim statistic, if confirmed, this would mark the 13th woman to fall victim to assumed domestic violence this year.
