The incident occurred on Sunday morning in the Almería province of the Andalusia region of Spain
Police are investigating the violent murder of a young woman, said by police to be between 25 and 30 years old, in the municipality of Roquetas de Mar, Almería.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning and local Spanish language media has reported that several callers contacted the Andalusian Emergency Service 112 claiming that a man was attacking a woman on Pintor Rosales street, at the junction with Camino de los Depósito of the municipality.
No arrests have yet been made, but the investigation has been placed under a secrecy order by the 2nd Court of Instruction of Roquetas de Mar to enable officers to fully investigate the reports.
It is believed that this could be a case of gender violence.
Last Sunday, a man allegedly killed his wife in Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid) and just four days later a man murdered his wife in Porqueres (Girona) and later turned himself in to the Mossos d'Esquadra.
