The Guardia Civil discovers the body of a 32-year-old woman in a chalet in Eslida following a report. A 28-year-old man has been detained for an alleged homicide linked to drugs.
Discovery in Eslida
The Guardia Civil is investigating the death of a woman whose body was found on Wednesday morning in a chalet on Calle El Castell in Eslida, according to elperiodicomediterraneo.com. The victim, 32 years old and from Vall d'Uixó, was discovered inside the property following an investigation triggered by a request for assistance from her mother to locate her.
A 28-year-old Spanish national has been detained as a suspect in connection with the crime. The Guardia Civil has opened an investigation for alleged homicide. According to sources consulted, the most probable hypothesis being pursued by investigators is that the case is linked to drugs, following an argument between the two individuals that resulted in a shooting.
Duration of death
Investigators are working to determine how long the body remained undiscovered. Sources close to the municipality suggest that the woman may have died between five days and a week before her body was found, although this estimate has not yet been officially confirmed by the Guardia Civil.
Initial reports suggest that a firearm may have been involved in the death, although elperiodicomediterraneo.com has been unable to confirm this through official sources. The Judicial Police are continuing with proceedings at the property to clarify the facts.
Investigation context
The Guardia Civil has ruled out for the time being that this is a case of gender-based violence. Initial reports indicate that there would be no previous complaints in the VioGén system, although that information alone does not establish the circumstances of the incident.
A person of approximately 30 years old with mental health problems was living in the chalet, according to information gathered in the municipality. It has not been officially confirmed whether this is the same person who has been detained or what relationship they maintained with the victim.
The investigation remains open whilst officers continue with proceedings to determine exactly what occurred in the property on Calle El Castell.
