She made several reports to the Dutch police of her partner being violent towards her, NOS reports after reports in Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha

The young woman died in hospital on Saturday after she was severely assaulted, presumably by her boyfriend. The two got into an argument after they were evicted from a hostel for causing nuisance.
