A British woman has died in the Canary Islands after she was found with multiple injuries at her home. <\/p>\n
The woman, who has only been identified as a 47-year-old woman named Donna C, lived in an apartment block in Gran Canaria with her partner, who is also British. <\/p>\n
An 84-year-old man, believed to be her partner, was arrested in connection with her death after it was reported she had received several blows during the suspected domestic violence incident. <\/p>\n
Police were called to the scene immediately and found a British man sitting on the settee watching TV whilst the woman was found bleeding in the bath, according to Spanish newspaper La Provincia. <\/p>\n
The man reportedly resisted arrest and assaulted at least one police officer in the process. <\/p>\n
The victim was rushed to a health centre in Arguinegun and then on to the University Hospital of Gran Canaria where doctors were unable to save her life when she went into cardiac arrest. <\/p>\n
According to reports, there were no previous allegations or background of violence between the couple in Spain. <\/p>\n
The man has now been placed in the hands of the courts in SanBartolom de Tirajana and is expected to make an appearance either today or tomorrow. <\/p>\n
Depending on the outcome of the autopsy, which is due to be carried out, he could be charged with gender violence or homicide as well as resisting arrest. <\/p>\n
