19-Year-Old Detained After Father Fatally Stabbed in Fuenmayor on New Year’s Eve

The investigation is under judicial secrecy with the suspect held by the Guardia Civil.

Overview

  • Guardia Civil says the case originated in a gender-based violence episode that would have escalated into domestic violence, with a working line that the son intervened to protect his mother.
  • The stabbing occurred around 17:20 on December 31 at 9 Calle Veracruz in Fuenmayor, and the 54-year-old father died from knife wounds.
  • Specialized Guardia Civil units and the on-call judge processed the home, and the body was transferred to the Institute of Legal Medicine in Logroño.
  • Fuenmayor’s mayor condemned the violence and called a minute of silence for Friday at noon outside the town hall.
  • Social services have relocated the widow and three minor children to a social housing apartment in Logroño while support continues.
