Two children left orphaned after couple found dead in Cuenca home

Two children were left orphaned after their parents were found deceased at their home in Cuenca, Spain. The bodies of a 37-year-old woman and a man were discovered with signs of violence inside their residence on Calle Mayorazgo in Valverde de Júcar, a municipality in the province of Cuenca. The couple had two daughters aged six and 14.

The deaths occurred on Thursday evening, October 8, and the investigation is currently underway. Authorities are examining the possibility of gender-based violence, which would involve both shock and outrage from regional government officials. The woman was not registered with Spain's police monitoring and protection system for victims of gender-based violence, but this does not determine the nature of the deaths.

The Guardia Civil and emergency services are working to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident, and the regional Government Delegation against Gender Violence is gathering information.
