• Isabell Elena Raducanu found dead in her home in Xativa on the Costa Blanca
• Boyfriend Juan Vicente found her naked body in bed with a large neck wound 
• Romanian woman was reportedly six months pregnant at the time of her death 

A pregnant woman was reportedly found beheaded by her partner at their apartment in Spain.

Isabell Elena Raducanu, who was said to be six months pregnant, was discovered dead in bed in her home on the Costa Blanca yesterday afternoon. 

Juan Vicente came home from work to find his girlfriend lying in bed with a large knife wound down the left side of her neck, according to local media.

The Romanian woman, who had an eight-year-old daughter, had reportedly previously worked as a prostitute, but it was not known if this was linked to her murder.

The 36-year-old lived in the town of Xativa, a province of Valencia, and was expecting Vicente’s child at the time of her death, according to Spanish newspaper El Pais.

Police were called at around 4.10pm and a murder investigation has been launched.

The probe is being lead by Valencia Police Headquarters’ Homicide Group. No arrests have yet been made.

City Council of Xativa condemned the killing and the town Mayor declared a day of mourning for the murder victim.

A minute’s silence was held in the town and the mayor, Roger Cerda, said women who suffered violence deserved justice, according to Levante-EMV.

He told a crowd outside the town hall: ‘Ours is a quiet city full of women who deserve the guarantee of continuing with their lives life in equality and fullness, in exercise of their rights.’ 

In April Raducanu shared an ultrasound image of her unborn child on Facebook.

Magnolia Molines Dominguez, a friend of Raducanu, said she will campaign for justice for the murdered woman.

A minute’s silence was held in the town of Xativa for murdered Isabell Raducanu after she was found dead at home by her partner 

She wrote on Facebook: ‘I promise you that we will do justice for you, and for what you want most. I will give your little girl all the love that you gave her. 

‘From the first day I met you, friend Isabell Elena Răducanu, I loved you and I will love you forever.

‘Rest in peace my girl, I will be with you my queen, I love you isabell.’

The horrific killing of Raducanu came just a day after a man murdered his partner in a suspected murder suicide around 47 miles away (75km) in Alboraya.

The alleged murderer, 48, committed suicide by jumping from the balcony of his house, on the fifth floor of the coastal resort Port Saplaya. 

Beatriz Arroyo, 29, became the 999th victim of gender-based violence in Spain since 2003, when records began, according to El Pais.
