Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
This phrase comes from an article in a Honduran newspaper about the increase in violence against women and femicide.
“También en poca incidencia se dan los crímenes pasionales, en donde las mujeres son asesinadas por sus parejas o exparejas, enamorados de ojo, o por otras mujeres celosas”, dijo un detective ligado a las investigaciones de los asesinatos de mujeres, quien prefirió el anonimato.
Thanks in advance!

: hmmmh, doesn't seem very likely, at least not at the moment of committing the crime!

I agree that it's an odd juxtaposition - possibly delivered with a shade of cynicism. But an alternative meaning escapes me.

stalker
I believe that in this we're talking about stalkers. Even though the Spanish sounds sweet, I don't think that's the intention. You could probably use *secret admirer*, but it also seems to sound sweet.
