According to the investigation, Gómez entered the house, stabbed her to death and then attacked her current partner with the same weapon, who suffered injuries in different parts of the body.
The assailant fled the scene. Alerted regarding the situation, the Police arrived at the home and found the bloody woman, no longer vital signs, and the seriously injured young man.
The spokesmen added that the injured person was transferred to a care center in the town of Unquillo.

The entire attack was witnessed by the victim’s daughter, a 4-year-old girl.
The investigation of the case was left in the hands of the prosecutor of the Family Violence Jurisdiction, Pablo Cuenca Tagle.
