Spain. This is a case of gender-based violence and murder, with the perpetrator subsequently killing themselves (i.e., murder-suicide) with a knife. The body of a woman lies on the right, who died as a result of multiple stab wounds inflicted to the back using a knife, penetrating the chest cavity and reaching the lung. The body of the alleged perpetrator, who later killed himself, lies on the left, next to the body of his partner. Based on the wounds inflicted on the victim, the perpetrator’s mental state was on the pathological spectrum.
