The last victim of gender violence: an exceptional surgeon

«Those of us who have been in your hands know that apart from being an exceptional surgeon , what makes the difference is human treatment. I will never find a professional with that delivery, love and dedication for the patient ». These are the words that one of the people who has passed through his surgical table was dedicated to Pilar CP on July 19 on the web masquemedicos.com.

Yesterday, the comments of the patients - all truly complimentary - were joined by the condolences for his death: «Rest in peace, doctor, seeing the comments you can see the affection he left to his patients, this world needs more people like you» .

Pilar CP, 48, a general and digestive system surgeon at the University Hospital of the Princess, was found dead with signs of violence early Friday morning at her home on Tenerife Street, in the district of Tetuán. It had been tied hand and foot and stabbed with a large knife in the neck. His body also had bruises from heavy blows to the head.

The police entered his home after receiving at 00.20 a call in 091 in which he was alerted that something serious could have happened to him . The caller was in a city in southern Spain and explained that a friend had sent an image of his dead partner to his mobile. It was about Pilar.

When the agents typed in their databases their name, they found that it was included in the Viogen database, the system of comprehensive monitoring of cases of sexist violence in which the risk of victims is assessed, as the agency has advanced Efe It also featured that of his current partner, TJ, 43 years old and a professional grower .

Blows in the street

Both had been registered in Viogen after last November a police patrol intervened when he hit her in the street . TJ was arrested, but Pilar did not report or request a protection order.

Only a few hours after the discovery of his body, the Police issued a search and seizure order against this man, unable to locate him. His cell phone was inoperative since dawn. The main hypothesis with which the Police works, therefore, is that it could be a new case of sexist violence.

Pilar, who would turn 49 next September, had bought the apartment where she had been murdered four months ago and had moved to live there with her eight-year-old son. The child, the result of a previous relationship, was on vacation with his father.

Most of the thirty neighbors of his building did not know the newcomer or had just crossed a few words with them. None of the residents who have asked THE WORLD heard noises or blows that made one think that the woman was suffering a brutal aggression.

"I met her the day before yesterday because she stopped me in the yard to ask me a question," explains one of the neighbors. «He only told me that he had just moved with his son and that he was under construction on the floor. I still had it unpainted, ”she added, still stunned by the shock caused by the crime and the commotion of the police presence and the media. Citizen security agents, the Scientific Police Brigade and the Homicide Group moved to the Tenerife street address.

The Delegation of the Government for Gender Violence confirmed yesterday, through Twitter, the case of Pilar as a sexist crime, which makes her the fifth victim of what is going on this year in Madrid and 39 in Spain. In addition, three minors have been killed in sexist crimes, which have left 27 other children orphaned for the murders of their mothers.

"She is an impressive surgeon," her patients say of her. «Excellent professional . Clear as water. Exquisite treatment of patients. The best among the best ».
