This Saturday, a woman was murdered by her partner in the Soyapango district, in San Salvador East, and the perpetrator was arrested by the police, who later reported it on social media.
The first death this month occurred on September 11 in Antiguo Cuscatlan, La Libertad, where a woman was killed with a knife by her partner, who is in custody awaiting trial. These crimes are among at least five cases of violent deaths reported this month, the PNC noted.
Fifty-seven acts of violence against women occur every day in Salvadoran territory, and 27 femicides have been registered until August.
