The woman found dead in her residence on Amsterdam Street in Teatinos, Oviedo, was killed by blunt force trauma, with a brutal beating cited as the cause of death. Her neck and several ribs were broken, and the body was moved to the bathtub, a detail that has shaped investigators’ early hypotheses and the direction of the inquiry. Two days after the discovery, police cautiously resumed procedural steps, with a careful reintroduction of the case into active investigation. The Madrid-based General Police Station leads the probe, supported by Asturian authorities and reinforcements from the Special and Violent Crimes Unit (UDEV) now stationed in Oviedo. It has also been confirmed that the victim used professional aliases tied to prostitution, advertised as a masseuse, and her home housed various sex toys and a notable collection of roughly twenty wigs spread on the floor of the living space.
Since the body was found, the victim’s mother, who was away in Benicarló, could not reach her daughter for several days and alerted authorities, triggering the case file. Early interpretations suggested the prospect of a domestic accident in the bathroom that might explain a neck fracture, or even a potential suicide. As investigators confirmed the victim’s line of work, there was speculation that a client might have acted out violently in an encounter gone wrong.
Recent autopsy findings establish that the death occurred outside sexual activity, decisively pointing to a brutal assault as the primary cause. The examination notes indicate a broken neck and multiple broken ribs, with fresh evidence suggesting the body was moved to a bathtub location after the fatal injury. This clarification has helped narrow the case’s trajectory and focus on violent wrongdoing rather than sexual conduct, though relationships preceding the alleged crime are still under scrutiny.
Questions remain about whether someone provided services or induced the victim into a relationship at home, potentially culminating in lethal violence. Investigators emphasize that the autopsy does not point to a sexual assault, but prior connections to the alleged murder are still being explored in the context of the broader investigation.
Tatiana Coinac, aged 44, a Moldovan national who used alternative names in her work, is believed to have resided at her flat for fifteen years. Local neighbors describe her as a friendly yet withdrawn person who rarely appeared in the area, occasionally venturing out at night. Among her possessions, a Persian cat roamed the neighborhood, often seen at dawn, sometimes with its head covered, a small detail that residents remember as part of the peculiar rhythm of the street life.
At the neighborhood hairdresser and on its related site, she was portrayed as an ordinary woman, sometimes anxious and hesitant when making purchases or requesting items, with no clear signs of a double life emerging from those early accounts. The apartment building remained her property, and there were no obvious friendships in the neighborhood. The hairdresser notes that Coinac sometimes spoke of traveling to Gijón, though she did not express a fondness for nightlife, a contrast to what some rumors suggested.
On the morning following the discovery, UDEV specialists and the Science Police persisted in fieldwork, gathering evidence with neighbors looking on in disbelief. Tatiana Coinac was described by some as a person who kept a low profile, without gatherings at her residence, and without known romantic entanglements or routine public dating in local workplaces. Her appearance did not draw special attention; she wore practical footwear, relaxed clothing, jeans, and T-shirts, a stark reminder of the contrast between public perception and private life that has emerged during the inquiry.
Observers note Coinac’s unusual fixation with wigs, which became a pattern in her shopping at the neighborhood hairdresser, culminating in a preference for darker blondes. She often requested minor styling changes before leaving the salon, a habit that made her less conspicuous in daily life. The hairdresser recalls Coinac as a relatively ordinary customer who appeared thoughtful and reserved rather than flamboyant or provocative in demeanor.
Investigations at the hairdresser’s and nearby locales continue to piece together a life that might not have aligned with the public’s impression. Coinac reportedly mentioned shifts at a Naranco nursing home, though no precise record confirms a formal caregiving role in that setting. Authorities stress that a complete professional history remains under review as the inquiry progresses, with no immediate evidence tying her to a particular workplace beyond those initial references.
Despite the prompt involvement of UDEV experts and the Science Police, many questions linger about Tatiana Coinac’s murder. The case remains under thorough examination as investigators seek to illuminate the circumstances surrounding the violent act, the identity of any clients or acquaintances involved, and the sequence of events that led to the fatal trauma. The pursuit of clarity continues as new details emerge and the investigation expands to examine connections both within Oviedo and across nearby cities.
At present, officials are careful to balance sensitivity with the demand for answers, acknowledging that the neighborhood reaction is one of shock while the broader public seeks to understand the factors that culminated in this tragic event. The investigation remains active, with ongoing steps to recover additional forensic evidence and trace the victim’s movements in the days preceding her death. Each new finding is assessed for its potential to reveal motive and opportunity, guiding investigators toward a comprehensive understanding of Tatiana Coinac’s final hours and the circumstances that ended her life.
