Overview

• Emergency services were alerted around 03:10 after witnesses found the woman bleeding in a portal on Calle Tigris in Sevilla Este.
• Initial inquiries indicate a first assault occurred inside the couple’s home after returning from a birthday, the victim fled, and she was then stabbed in the neck in the street.
• The alleged attacker, a 21-year-old man who had a sentimental relationship with the victim, attempted self-harm and remains hospitalized under police custody.
• Officials say the victim was registered in the VioGén system but had no active judicial protection measures or prior complaints on record at the time.
• The National Police Homicide unit is leading the investigation, with local authorities condemning the killing; if confirmed as gender-based, it would be the second such case in Seville this month and would add to Spain’s 2025 femicide tally.
