The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested a man in connection with the death of a 27-year-old woman whose body was found on Thursday with signs of violence in a flat in the city of Girona.

Investigation sources have indicated that the detainee, who was arrested in the same city of Girona, had maintained a sentimental relationship with the victim.

The Mossos d'Esquadra found the body around 5:20 p.m., after receiving a notice that there was a dead woman in an apartment.

Various police teams have gone to the scene, as well as members of the Emergency Medical System (SEM) who have confirmed the death of the woman.

The Criminal Investigation Division of the Mossos d'Esquadra has opened an investigation to clarify the facts, which has led to the arrest of the alleged perpetrator of the crime.

Girona City Council has called a silent rally this morning at 11:30 a.m. in Plaça del Vi to condemn the murder.
