The Ministry of Equality has described the case of the woman killed in Basauri as a macho murder
The victim was unwell and the health services were unable to revive him, but the subsequent forensic examination found signs of violent death.
The Ministry of Equality has confirmed that the death of the 44-year-old woman murdered in Basauri on 1 April was a macho murder allegedly committed by her 45-year-old partner.
With this case, 15 women have died this year from male violence in the Spanish State, and 1,358 have been killed since data began to be collected since 2003.
The alleged aggressor was arrested last Friday in Bilbao by the Ertzaintza. The Ministry has previously reported allegations of gender-based violence.
The incident took place in a house in the El Kalero district of Basauri, where the victim was unwell and the health services were unable to revive him, while the subsequent forensic examination found signs of violent death, after which an investigation was opened and the suspect was arrested on charges of murder in the context of gender-based violence.
