Moreover, a similar study was performed in news sources of the town, in the same period and goals. To this aim, femicide detection criteria were established, to distinguish these cases from deaths for various causes, 49 cases have been detected, although in the press there were another cases. A high percentage of these deaths have not been properly handled judicially. In this research was noticeable that institutional research strategies are insufficient, because of the lack of information and absence of complaints by people who know about the case.
