DNA Confirms Femicide in Campo Lameiro: Couple's Charred Bodies Identified

On May 31, 2025, two charred bodies were discovered in Campo Lameiro, Pontevedra, Spain. Initial investigations focused on a missing couple, José Ramón G. C. (50) and Marisol C. P. (49), who had disappeared from Moraña days earlier. The bodies' condition initially hindered identification, but DNA testing confirmed their identities. A spokesperson from the Subdelegation of the Government in Pontevedra stated that while the investigation is ongoing, all hypotheses remain open. However, official sources cited by EFE emphasized that the primary line of inquiry is femicide, given José Ramón G.C.'s history of gender-based violence convictions and a current restraining order. The investigation suggests that José Ramón G.C. killed Marisol C. P. before taking his own life. This tragic event highlights the ongoing issue of gender-based violence and underscores the importance of continued efforts to combat this crime.
