The Guardia Civil has arrested a woman in San Pedro del Pinatar, suspected of the homicide of her partner. The alleged incident took place after a heated argument when the woman reportedly drove her car into the victim, a seventy-year-old man, striking him intentionally at around three PM. Initially thought to be an accident, the investigation revealed signs pointing to premeditated action.

Authorities have confirmed that the victim, identified as Francisco M. S., was known in the community and had a strained relationship with the suspect, Zohra L., a forty-seven-year-old Moroccan national. Reports indicate that there was an active case of domestic violence between the two, though there were no current judicial measures in place.

Witness accounts describe a long history of conflict between the couple, recently heightened due to the arrested woman’s issues with substance abuse. Following the incident, she tested positive for drugs. The tragedy unfolded just moments after the victim attempted to leave their confrontation when the suspect used her vehicle to strike him.

Following the incident, many local residents gathered at the scene as the authorities conducted an investigation and retrieved the victim’s body. The case is now being managed by the Guardia Civil’s Judicial Police team, and an autopsy has been scheduled to determine the cause of death.
