A 21-year-old Spanish university student was killed while taking part in an exchange program in Mexico, according to Clarin.com. The outlet reported the death on Monday, describing the reaction in Spain as a day of deep sadness and anger.
The student was enrolled at the University of Morelos, the BBC reported. Her body has been handed over to her family so it can be returned to Spain, according to Infobae. DW.com reported that a suspect in the killing was arrested in Mexico.
The case has drawn wider attention to violence against women at the University of Morelos. The BBC reported that the student's death is one of four killings of women at the institution in seven months, and that the pattern has caused outrage.
Clarin.com's coverage included the phrase "a day of deep sadness and a lot of rage," reflecting the response in Spain to the killing of the young woman abroad.
The reporting so far centers on the arrest, the return of the body and the broader concern about crimes against women at the university. Further details about the suspect, the circumstances of the killing and any legal proceedings have not been established in the material available.
What to watch next: whether Mexican authorities file formal charges against the detained suspect, and how the University of Morelos and Spanish officials respond to the four deaths reported in seven months.
