The Civil Guard was looking for, since the afternoon of this Saturday, the ex-partner of the woman murdered in the vicinity of the campsite. Sources consulted by Europa Press have confirmed that it is an agent of the Armed Institute who had a restraining order of 300 meters from the victim and the prohibition to communicate with her. At the moment, he has not been arrested.

The acting mayor of Oia, Cristina Correa, who was traveling to the scene, told Europa Press that, according to what the person in charge of the campsite had told her, the victim was a native of Lugo and had lived in the municipality of Pontevedra for some time. short time "hosted" by a neighbor.
This would be the second macho crime that occurred in Galicia this 2023 after the murder of a woman in Baiona last February for which her ex-partner was arrested. With her, a total of 21 women have been murdered because of this scourge so far this year and 1,205 since 2003.
