Overview

  • Emergency services were called around 11 p.m. Tuesday to Enrique Tierno Galván street in La Codosera, a Badajoz municipality near the Portuguese border.
  • The victim was identified as Verónica González Gazapo, 46, and the detained man is her partner, José Manuel, 43, with both living near the scene.
  • The Guardia Civil has opened an investigation into the circumstances and has not yet established a motive or formal classification.
  • Mayor Juan Manuel Gómez said responders tried to resuscitate the woman but she could not be saved.
  • If classified as gender-based violence, this would follow lethal cases recorded this year in Don Benito in August and Aldeanueva del Camino in May.
