The Civil Guard has found in a septic tank the body of a woman murdered in Tenerife , in a house in the municipality of Santa Úrsula , after her ex-partner, a man whom the victim had denounced for assault during the confinement due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Sources of the Civil Guard have informed Efe that a third person had reported that since the weekend the woman, 43, had not been seen, and alerted of a possible macho assault. Following this complaint, the investigation began and a man, a former partner of the missing woman, was arrested.

The victim, according to police sources, had denounced the man during the confinement for assault and the local police in Santa Úrsula had detained him. It was at that time that they broke the relationship they had, the sources added.

With the death of this woman, there are already 24 fatal victims of male violence so far this year and there are two cases under investigation, according to data from the Government Delegation against Male Violence.

The Santa Úrsula City Council has convened a minute of silence in memory of the murdered woman, the second in the Canary Islands for male violence in 2020.
