Spain Tightens Custody in High-Profile Killings as New Stabbings Probe Widens

Pretrial custody orders in headline cases coincide with fresh stabbings and gender‑violence assessments across multiple regions.

Overview

  • A judge ordered pretrial detention without bail for four men arrested over the December 2023 double murder of brothers in Casarrubios del Monte after a nationwide Guardia Civil operation.
  • The 23-year-old detained over the killing of Antonio Campos, found in a car trunk in El Ejido, has been remanded to prison as the case proceeds under judicial secrecy.
  • A 35-year-old woman was discovered fatally stabbed on a street in La Mojonera with no arrests reported, an autopsy pending, and investigators pursuing lines beyond initial gender‑violence hypotheses after finding blood on a nearby vehicle.
  • In Marbella, police detained an 84-year-old man after his 83-year-old partner was found with stab wounds, with authorities reviewing whether the case will be classified as gender‑based violence.
  • A 50-year-old man died after a bar stabbing in Madrid’s Puente de Vallecas and the suspected attacker was detained, while a separate attempted‑murder case in Miguel Esteban is set for trial on October 7.
