A 92-year-old man has been arrested in Valle Guerra (Tenerife) for allegedly killing his 91-year-old wife. The body was found with signs of violence, so the Police are investigating whether it is a possible case of sexist violence.

If confirmed, it would be the 35th victim, after the death of a woman in Pozoblanco (Córdoba), to die because of this scourge that is gender violence and another woman in Almeria who was murdered yesterday Monday -August 6- with a weapon blanca, “supposedly a knife, in the Pescadería neighborhood, in the capital of Almeria.” Some witnesses called the police.

This month of July has been recorded as a black month as far as sexist violence is concerned, leaving eight women murdered. Upon learning these data for the month of July, the experts warned that vacation periods are a time of great vulnerability for women victims of abuse: “They are forced to live with their aggressor 24 hours a day”, as indicated to EFE the psychologist and professor at the International University of Valencia (VIU) in the Master’s in Legal Psychology, José Antonio Echauri: “The longer time you live together is the main risk factor.”
