The Guardia Civil has arrested the husband of a woman who was found dead with signs of violence in Xilxes, Castellón, alongside her 12-year-old daughter. The arrest was made after the husband breached a restraining order that had been placed against him, prohibiting him from approaching his wife. The bodies were discovered in their home, following a report of a potential double homicide, prompting urgent responses from local police and the Guardia Civil.

The victim was part of the VioGén system, which proactively assesses risks of domestic violence. Authorities had recently evaluated her situation and noted a 'medium risk,' indicating that concerns about her safety were acknowledged. The restraining order against the husband, which prohibits him from being within 300 meters of the victim, was to be upheld until 2027, highlighting prior awareness of the potential threats facing her.

Additionally, municipal sources revealed that the deceased belonged to a well-known family of deaf individuals within the community. The investigation has now been handed over to the Judicial Police of the Guardia Civil, which is working to clarify the events surrounding this tragic situation. The case underscores ongoing issues related to domestic violence and the effectiveness of protective measures in place for victims in such circumstances.
