The Judicial Police are investigating the murder of a
28-year-old woman
and her seven-
year-old
son in the Mallorcan town of Sa Pobla, in the north of the island.
The
main suspect
is a 26-year-old man who
was a partner of the victim
and who has been arrested hours after the discovery of the bodies, which showed obvious signs of violence.
The man has surrendered.
In the early afternoon, and not having news of them or getting the door of his home, located on Santa Catalina Tomás street, opened for him, a relative of the murdered woman has notified the Local Police.
The agents have entered the house through an adjoining patio and have found the two bodies.
The victim was three months pregnant.
The Civil Guard has taken charge of the investigations and at the moment forensic work is being carried out and investigating the circumstances of the death.
The event has caused an obvious commotion in the town, an
agrarian municipality in the north of Mallorca
with a high immigrant population among its 13,000 inhabitants.
The woman and her son are suspected of having been murdered on Sunday.
The Balearic Government has condemned the events and has announced that, as it does in all sexist murders, it will appear as an accusation.
At the expense of what the investigation holds in the next few hours, she is the
first victim
of gender violence so far this year in the Balearic Islands.
Since 2003, 40 women have been murdered.
Both the deceased woman, her son and the alleged murderer are foreigners, all of them Moroccans.
