The neighborhood of La Calzada de Gijón woke up this Monday shocked after the discovery of one of its neighbors, Lorena Dacuña, dead and with clear signs of violence at his home on Calle Callao. The first hypotheses suggest that the 41-year-old victim showed fatal stab wounds at stomach level. The ongoing investigation points towards the ex-partner of the deceased as one of the main suspects. This is another resident in the area, who has worked as a waiter in several bars. If confirmed, Dacuña would be the eighth victim of gender violence in all Spain.
The alarm voice jumped when Dacuña did not show up at his job at the Brillastur cleaning company. Her work shift, according to those responsible for the business, began at six in the morning and she should have made an appointment with one of her colleagues. Missed by the absence of the woman, who, as they also explain from the cleaning firm, was always punctual and reported any type of problem or delay, the other worker contacted a third, recently retired, because she was one of the few who maintained a relationship. close with Dacuña. It was the latter who was in charge of contacting family members who, in turn, called the Police. In La Calzada, residents do not remember seeing it since Friday.
The search for Dacuña was initially in the hands of the Local Police, which at 2:45 p.m. and tf find the body at home -located at number 6 Callao street- he asked for help from his colleagues at the Nacional. While waiting for the autopsy to provide more details, the woman’s body had stab wounds in the abdomen and was found on her bed. She was lying on her side and was holding an undergarment with one of her hands. Although residents of the area claim to have seen “movement” in the building as early as the morning, the removal of the body was not authorized until after 4.30 pm.
The officers face the case with some surprise, because the amount of blood found in the home does not correspond, in principle, with the bleeding that should have caused the wounds. Therefore, it is not ruled out that the fatal attack occurred elsewhere and not at home.
Before coroners removed the body, officers removed what appears to be one of the key pieces of the case: the victim’s vehicle. It is a “small and maroon-colored” car, according to neighbors, who saw how several police officers sealed it to take it away around 3.30 pm “He had it parked in front of the house. We had been puzzled for a long time because it was said that the trunk was open,” said a neighbor of the same building where Dacuña lived.
At the moment, the investigation seems to focus on the ex-partner of the deceased, a man who apparently has various criminal records; among them, several for crimes typified by gender violence against other women with whom he had had relationships in the past. However, there is no record of the victim that has filed any complaint for ill-treatment. According to what New Spain has learnedAlthough the family prefers at the moment not to make any type of statement, it has explained to Local Police officers that the ex-boyfriend of the deceased “was very jealous”. This male is in unknown location. “On Sunday he should have gone to open the bar where he works, because he had the keys and the other person who also has them is the cleaning man, but he did not appear, “residents of buildings close to this hotel establishment, located on Calle Luis Braille, said on Monday.
This place, which by mid-afternoon on Monday already had the shutter down, was inspected by several police officers, according to several witnesses. “It turns out that it had been two days since he gave any signs“They said. This man was identified yesterday by several residents of his building.” She lived on the second floor, on the right door, and we saw him a lot around here, but he did not deal with anyone, nor did he greet anyone, ” they explained. They did not know that the couple had broken up. “It is all very strange because we never hear them argue, and that in this building, as we live with older and quiet people, any noise is heard a lot,” said residents of the third and fourth floors. “I heard a tremendous noise in the early hours of Saturday, and now I am worried,” said another neighbor.
