Two Arrested in Madrid Holiday Stabbings as Police Probe Motives

Specialized homicide teams now process evidence at both crime scenes.

Overview

  • Police detained a 57-year-old flat owner in Usera after a 60-year-old man bled to death from a stab wound to the leg inside the apartment.
  • Investigators cited contradictions in the detainee's account and local CCTV that showed no woman leaving the flat matching the description he provided.
  • Officers found drugs in the Usera residence, and detectives are examining whether the killing stemmed from a dispute over consumption or sale of narcotics.
  • In Leganés, a 49-year-old man was arrested at the family home after his 54-year-old brother was found with multiple stab wounds, with Summa-112 confirming the death.
  • Police are exploring reports of a gambling-related debt and potential issues with psychiatric medication in the Leganés case, while Grupo VI de Homicidios, Policía Científica's DEVI, and Policía Judicial lead the ongoing inquiries.
