Overview

  • Local police alerted Mossos around 11:30 a.m. Thursday after a woman was found dead in a holiday rental with clear signs of violence.
  • The Divisió d'Investigació Criminal of the Girona region took charge, carried out an on-site reconstruction, and placed the case under secrecy of proceedings.
  • Authorities have arrested a person allegedly implicated; El Periódico reports the detainee is a 35-year-old local man identified after leaving his wallet at the scene.
  • Spain’s Ministry of Equality is examining the case as potential gender-based violence, pending clarification of the relationship and circumstances.
  • Police sources cited by El Periódico indicate signs consistent with asphyxiation and a possible sexual assault, and the detainee is to appear before the Blanes investigating court handling the case.
