A woman murdered in Marbella, allegedly by her partner.

An 83-year-old woman has been murdered in Marbella (Málaga), allegedly at the hands of her 84-year-old partner , who was arrested this Friday.

The couple lived together in a villa located in a residential area at the entrance to Marbella, in the Elviria Las Chapas district, where officers arrested the alleged perpetrator, who has already been taken to police headquarters , according to sources close to the investigation who spoke to EFE.

The judicial authorities have already authorized the removal of the body, on which an autopsy will be performed in the coming hours, and Forensic Police officers have taken fingerprints at the possible crime scene.

The Gender Violence Unit of the Government Subdelegation in Malaga is gathering all information related to the murder due to alleged gender-based violence and forwarding it to the Government Delegation Against Gender Violence to determine whether it is a new gender-based crime.

If the sexist nature of the crime is confirmed, there would be 29 women murdered by their partners or ex-partners so far in 2025—ten of them in Andalusia—and 1,324 since statistics on gender-based murders began to be compiled in 2003.
