Police Probe Three Deaths in Catalonia and Palma After El Vendrell Arrest

Autopsy findings will guide the investigations, with a secrecy order limiting disclosures in El Vendrell.

Overview

  • A 37-year-old man was detained in El Vendrell after officers found his mother dead at home, and the Mossos are treating the case as domestic and gender-based violence.
  • The judicial authority has imposed secrecy over the El Vendrell proceedings, restricting public information as investigators build the case.
  • In Barcelona’s Gòtic, a body was discovered inside a sleeping bag in the Vila de Madrid plaza, the on-duty court ordered the removal, and the Mossos opened an inquiry into the cause of death.
  • Homicide officers are investigating a 53-year-old man found dead early New Year’s Day in a park in Palma’s Cas Capiscol neighborhood, with the autopsy expected to determine the cause.
  • Sources in the Palma case report the man had a serious illness and had recently been sleeping rough, while scientific units collect evidence under the lead of specialized police teams.
