Mexico investigates death of Spanish exchange student

Euronews Portugal14 September 2026 at 11:03

The Mexican authorities are investigating the death of a Spanish university student who was on academic exchange in Mexico. The young woman was a student at the University of Granada and was in the state of Morelos when the incident occurred.

The Mexican Attorney General's Office took over the investigation of the case, which is being conducted based on the femicide protocol. This is a measure that indicates that the authorities are considering the possibility that the crime may have been motivated by gender issues.

The case has attracted international attention due to the victim's nationality and the context of academic exchange. The investigations continue to determine the exact circumstances of the Spanish student's death.

Why this matters

The case may raise concerns about the safety of foreign students in Mexico and affect academic relations between the two countries. Family members and the academic community are closely following the investigations.
