In the last four days, four women and one man have died at the hands of their partners or former partners, the latest incident occurring on Wednesday in L´Hospitalet, Barcelona.
A 48-year-old man stabbed and killed his 45-year-old partner or former partner, the exact relationship yet to be determined, and then committed suicide.
This case, if officially confirmed, will be the 40th domestic violence victim so far this year in Spain.
