A man has stabbed his partner in a shopping center in Murcia and fled, according to sources from the Government Delegation in that community reported to EFE, who also indicate that the events are being investigated as an alleged case of gender-based violence. The National Police is searching for the individual. According to 112, around 17:25 hours a call alerted the discovery of a 44-year-old woman dead in the back room of a business in the Carrefour Infante shopping center.
The worker who found her quickly alerted the security forces due to the appearance of a violent death. The National Police requested medical assistance, but the ambulance doctor who arrived at the scene could only certify the death.
The investigation is being carried out in a coordinated manner by the Homicide Group and the Family and Women’s Care Unit, with the support of the Provincial Scientific Police Brigade.

Both cases are being investigated as crimes of gender-based violence, and the official confirmation of the murder last July in Benahavís is awaited; if confirmed, it would raise the number of women murdered this year to 36, and 1,377 since 2003.
