The weekend has left three new cases of sexist violence in Burgos, Cáceres and Pamplona, ??where a 47-year-old woman was allegedly murdered on Saturday by her partner, who has already been arrested.
In Cáceres, an alleged abuser was arrested this Sunday after being notified by the couple’s neighbors, while in Burgos the death of a woman whose body was found on Saturday after a call for help from her partner, who is detained for the injuries that the victim presented, despite the fact that the autopsy indicates that the death could be compatible with suicide.
In Pamplona, ??a man killed his partner and sentimental partner early on Saturday in the bar that they both ran in the Pamplona neighborhood of Ermitagaña, after which he appeared at the Pamplona Municipal Police to confess what happened.
All the municipal groups of the City Council have shown their unanimous rejection of this sexist murder and any form of violence against women, and their commitment to continue working so that the right of women to live a life free of violence is made effective.
Likewise, the Government of Navarra has shown “its deepest rejection and condemnation” of the crime. The consistory has called on citizens to express their rejection this Sunday, July 2 at 12 noon, at a rally where the acting president of the Government of Navarra, María Chivite, has assured that the region is “with women and against violence against gender deniers”
In Burgos, according to the police report, a woman called 112 yesterday at around half past three in the afternoon to report that she was having problems with her partner and, later, it was the detainee himself who called 911 to request the police presence claiming that the woman was very nervous and had locked herself in a room with a knife.
Once the agents arrived at the scene, the woman was already dead and her partner claimed that she had hanged herself and that he had taken the body down. After taking the first testimonies, the National Police arrested the 42-year-old man as the alleged murderer of his partner, a 20-year-old woman.
However, this Sunday the autopsy carried out on the young woman has concluded that death is “compatible with suicide by hanging”, although the woman “had trauma prior to death, but in no case are they the cause of death”, according to the National Police Station.
The man, who has a history of sexist violence towards his previous partner but against him there were no complaints made by the victim, will continue to be detained as the alleged perpetrator of a crime of gender violence, but without being charged with homicide.
Before knowing these details, the mayoress of Burgos, Cristina Ayala, showed her “strongest rejection” of the alleged murder through a statement on a PP letterhead, which governs in coalition with Vox in the consistory, where she condemns the “murder sexist” and wants “the full weight of the law to fall on the murderer”.
The City Council had also called a rally today at 8:00 p.m. to observe five minutes of silence, as had the Burgos Feminist Coordinator, which had called for a rally to reject the “last femicide” in the city with the slogan ‘Hartas of macho terrorism’.
In addition to the mayoress, other politicians had joined the condemnation, such as the leader of the PSOE in Castilla y León, Luis Tudanca, who has classified the news as “terrible”: “Gender violence again. With all the letters. With all the pain, with all the rage, hopefully not one more, and there are still those who deny it, miserable,” he wrote on social networks.
On the other hand, this Sunday the Civil Guard has arrested a man in Cáceres for an alleged crime of gender violence after his neighbors gave notice of a woman, with a blow to the eye, who was wandering the streets loaded with a suitcase and with a minor child.
The agents went to the victim’s home, who refused to open the door, limiting himself to talking to them through a window and denying any aggression by his partner, and even stated that he is not in the town.
Subsequently, with prior judicial authorization, several civil guards entered the house, searched all the rooms in the house and found the alleged abuser hiding inside a closet, camouflaged between blankets.
The detainee has numerous police records for crimes against people, including previous crimes for gender violence, as well as a restraining order against another former couple.
The Government delegate against Gender Violence, Victoria Rosell, has highlighted this Sunday that there is a “resurgence of machismo” and “denialism”, and has defended the need to reduce the figures of gender violence, which in 2023 already the lives of 25 women have been claimed, in the absence of confirmation by the Ministry of Equality of the murder in Pamplona.
