The Government Delegation against Gender Violence has confirmed that it is collecting data on the alleged gender violence murder of a woman in Fuerteventura.

If confirmed, the number of women killed by gender violence would amount to 13 in 2023 and 1,197 since 2003.

It is a woman who was found dead yesterday in a hotel in Pájara with a man, also deceased. Both showed signs of violence, according to EFE. The bodies corresponded to two foreign tourists.

Consulted by EFE, a spokeswoman for the Civil Guard Command in Las Palmas has confirmed the discovery of the two bodies, but declined to reveal any further details about the circumstances of the case, as the judge in charge of the investigation has declared the proceedings secret.
