Woman Found Dead in Valdezorras, Seville Potentially Due to Gender-Related Violence
In a developing story, the National Police have arrested a man in connection with the death of a 47-year-old woman found in a single-family dwelling on José María Sánchez Estevez Street in the Valdezorras neighborhood of Seville.
The body was discovered around six in the afternoon and taken to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for examination. The investigation is still in its early stages, but initial signs suggest that this may be a case of gender-based murder.
The sub-delegate of the Government received a report of a woman deceased in Valdezorras, a peripheral neighborhood of Seville. The case is being investigated as a possible case of gender-based violence, but no specific person has been reported as arrested in connection with the woman's death.
Regrettably, if confirmed as a case of gender-based violence, the number of women killed in Andalusia this year would rise to eight, and the number of women killed in Spain so far this year would rise to 27.
It's important to note that there were no previous reports by the woman nor was she registered in the Viogen system for the protection of women victims of gender-based violence.

Minors can contact the ANAR Foundation phone 900 20 20 10 for help and support. The Delegation of the Government against Gender Violence is gathering data from the latest murder to better understand the circumstances and prevent future incidents.
The man arrested could have maintained a sentimental relationship with the woman for several years. However, the investigation is still ongoing, and no hypothesis can be ruled out at this time.
The Ministry of Equality confirmed the seventh and last officially counted case of gender-based murder in Andalusia a week ago, which occurred in Motril, Granada. This tragic event serves as a reminder of the urgent need for continued efforts to combat gender-based violence in Spain.
