Torrevieja and Zaragoza hold tributes after two killings linked to gender‑based violence

Torrevieja and Zaragoza have declared official mourning and held minutes of silence following the deaths of a three‑year‑old girl in Alicante and a woman shot in Zaragoza, both in suspected cases of gender‑based violence.

In Torrevieja, neighbours gathered to honour the child, allegedly killed by her father before he took his own life.

In Zaragoza, residents and local officials paid tribute to Silvia, who was fatally shot outside her workplace by her former partner.

Community groups and authorities called for renewed commitment to prevention, protection and education to combat persistent gender violence.
