A 28-year old girl Laura Gallego Negre was brutally murdered on Saturday and the prime suspect of this case is her boyfriend, a 31-year-old named Hermenegildo Fernandez Salva who is a crack addict. He was held on remand last night in Palma prison.
He attended a preliminary hearing yesterday afternoon in Palma charged with the alleged murder of his girlfriend at a converted lockup garage that they shared in Marratxi. He was then ordered to be held in the Palma prison and bail was denied to him.
Yesterday, the family members of the girl were still coping with what all had happened. Mother and sister of the victim attended the one- minute silence held in her memory in front of the Marratxi Town Hall. Last night a protest against domestic violence was demonstrated by members of women’s rights groups at Palma center. At midday today, a minute’s silence will be held in front of the Balearic headquarters, Palma.
Yesterday, more grisly details on how Laura was battered to death came into lime light. She was bludgeoned by a lot of objects including a TV remote that was found soaked in blood.
Members of the Guardia Civil suspect that they started arguing over some drug related issue. The victim also was an addict, but she wanted to kick this habit and also leave her boyfriend.
