Overview

  • Preliminary autopsy findings indicate the woman suffered 50 stab wounds and died before her husband.
  • The Guardia Civil is treating the case as gender-based violence, and the government’s gender-violence office is gathering data.
  • Sources close to the inquiry report the husband likely killed his wife and then took his own life, and he had a history of self-harm behavior.
  • Investigative sources say the husband had consumed alcohol and medication and was dealing with chronic back pain and depression.
  • The couple had no prior complaints or Viogén monitoring, and their son found them in separate rooms as emergency teams could only confirm the deaths.
