XILXES (CASTELLÓN), 17/02/2026.- La Guardia Civil investiga la muerte violenta de una mujer y su hija, una niña de 12 años, cuyos cuerpos han sido hallados este martes en una vivienda del municipio castellonense de Xilxes. El aviso se ha recibido esta tarde por un posible doble crimen y hasta el lugar se han desplazado con urgencia una patrulla de la Policía Local y otra de la Guardia Civil.
