Over the past few hours, another incident occurred in Asturias, Spain, where a guard civil agent was murdered by her husband, who was also a member of the same force. These two events are being investigated as potential new episodes in the pattern of gender-based violence, which has led to a total of 35 murders related to this phenomenon in Spain in 2026.

In Murcia, the body of a 44-year-old woman was discovered in a Carrefour Infante shopping mall, in a stall of a business. The news of the incident was reported to the police through a 091 emergency call around 5:25 PM.
