Recent reports from Spain highlight separate incidents of fatal violence against female partners. 

In Antequera, Málaga, a 30-year-old woman was killed by her 35-year-old partner, who subsequently died by suicide. The couple had a history of domestic violence and were registered in the VioGen protection system, though a restraining order had been lifted shortly before the incident. 

In Marbella, a 59-year-old man confessed to the fatal stabbing of his 35-year-old partner. While the couple had filed mutual complaints for aggression one week prior, the inquiries were dismissed because neither party ratified the complaints. Authorities noted the case would be processed through an ordinary instruction court rather than a specialized gender violence court because the victim had not yet been officially registered as such in the Civil Registry.
