Investigation Launched into Violent Murders of Filipino Couple in Gran Canaria

The National Police have initiated an investigation following the tragic discovery of two bodies in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, identified as a 43-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man of Filipino descent. The bodies were found in a residence on Bernardo de la Torre street, and initial reports indicate that both victims exhibited clear signs of violence. While specific details surrounding the circumstances of their deaths have not been disclosed, the police are actively looking into the case. Reports indicate that the woman had previously lodged a complaint against the man under the Viogen system, which is the national registry for cases of gender-based violence in Spain. However, this complaint was reportedly archived, raising questions about the past interactions between the two individuals. As the investigation unfolds, the case has been placed under judicial secrecy, restricting the flow of information as authorities work to gather more evidence and clarify the details of this shocking incident. In another incident reported on January 6, 2023, a woman's body showing apparent signs of violence was found in Malaga. Authorities are currently working to identify the deceased, and an autopsy is pending, shining a light on the ongoing concerns surrounding violence against women in the region. These incidents have sparked discussions about the effectiveness of existing measures to protect potential victims of domestic violence, as more cases of this nature emerge across the country.
