María del Carmen

María del Carmen was a 60-year-old woman whose life was cut short when her partner, Alfonso, murdered her in their home in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Known to have a relatively quiet life in a residential area, María's death came as a shock to her community, where she was not well-known. Her partner had a history of domestic violence against a previous spouse, but there were no prior reports of abuse against María, underscoring the hidden nature of many domestic violence situations.
