As reported by the police this Monday, everything indicates that the boy was the ex-partner of the victim. The girl had decided to leave the relationship not long ago.

The investigation of the case is now being carried out by the Women and Minors Team (EMUME) of the Command of the armed institute of Alicante, which has already informed both the Alicante Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office and the guard court in Alicante oriole The government’s delegation against Gender-Based Violence has pointed out, in a message published on the X social network, that it collects the data of this murder as yet another case of gender-based violence. Precisely this Monday, November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women is commemorated with various institutional events and demonstrations in many cities.
