Spanish police have discovered the bodies of a woman, her husband and their two young children in what authorities believe was a disturbing new case of gender-based violence, allegedly committed by the husband before taking his own life. Although the government was still collecting all the pieces of information about the "terrible" incident in El Prat de Llobregat on the outskirts of Barcelona, everything pointed to gender-based violence, Equality Minister Ana Redondo told reporters on Wednesday. Catalonia's regional court system confirmed the four deaths of members of the same family in a statement and said a court dealing with violence against women was in charge of the case.
