Barcelona Partner Killing Draws 25 Years as Girona Knife Attacks Bring Eight

Both rulings became final, one through a plea in Barcelona, the other through expert‑backed diminished responsibility in Girona.

Overview

  • The Audiencia de Barcelona sentenced O. C., 38 and born in Mauritania, to 25 years for murdering his partner with alevosía plus kinship and gender‑motivation aggravators after he accepted the prosecution’s request, avoiding a jury trial.
  • The Barcelona judgment found the victim was stabbed nine times while asleep at home after a night out, leaving her defenseless and establishing treachery.
  • The Barcelona sentence includes a €400,000 indemnity to the victim’s family, a 35‑year 1,000‑meter no‑contact order, and five years of supervised release after prison.
  • The Audiencia Provincial de Girona imposed eight years on C. A. Z. for attempting to kill his flatmates on May 14, 2024, attacking them as they slept.
  • The Girona court applied an incomplete exculpatory psychiatric impairment, ordered a seven‑year restraining ban, six years of supervised release, and civil payments of €17,272 and €7,581, and declared the ruling final after both sides renounced appeals.
