A spokesman for the Guardia Civil, the police force investigating, said: “At 12.45am yesterday, local police in Mogan responded initially after being alerted to a 999 call about an alleged assault which had occurred at a property in the municipality.

“The initial police response focused on assisting the victim and subsequently detaining the alleged aggressor who was immediately handed over to the Guardia Civil in Mogan.

“The victim, a foreign woman aged 47 who lives in the Canary Islands, was taken to Arguineguin Health Centre before being transferred to the Gran Canaria Insular Hospital in the capital Las Palmas where she died yesterday morning/on Friday morning.

“Up until now, and pending the oficial result of the autopsy, it has not been possible to determine the exact causes of her death, and whether her death is linked to the possible assault.

He said Avalos wore a belt with a knife, screwdriver and other tools the night Carly Martin
