A 35 year old woman died on Wednesday morning in the Los Gladiolos district of Santa Cruz on the island of Tenerife, allegedly at the hands of her 42 year old former partner.
The alleged aggressor attacked his former partner with a knife in the elevator of the apartment block in which they lived as she was about to take their two children to school. The man later gave himself up to the police.
This is the first case of domestic violence on Tenerife this year.
