Family of trailblazing female Spanish mayor hail DNA match to remains

Earlier this year in a small town in Spain an exhumation was carried out. It was in hope to find María Domínguez Remón, who eight decades ago was Spain's first female mayor, feminist and rights activis. The clues that remain it is her is the location in which she was believed to be, a hole in her skull punctured by a bullet and she was buried with a small brown comb like she would've worn. The great-grandson of Domínguez's sister took DNA tests, which turned out to match with the remains. I think that's a really good news because it helped to remember her and tell other people about her life. She was killed because she was thinking differently, was brave and was a republican. In my opinion she is now the next woman in history that we can look up to. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/02/family-of-anti-franco-spanish-mayor-hail-dna-match-to-remains

  1. I gather she, being a republican, was killed during the Civil War in Spain?
    Separate the 'report' part from the 'comment' part - make them separate paragraphs. Also, separate the link from the rest of the text.
