The victim’s ex-partner, aged 38 and, in principle, the last person to have seen her alive before calling 061, was the main suspect, in particular because the woman’s body appeared at the door of his house.

She was registered in the Viogen system with an average risk and the man has a restraining order in force, issued by the Vigo Court for Violence against Women on April 30, with a ban on approaching within 200 meters of his ex-partner.
