Two Fatally Stabbed in Madrid on Christmas Eve as Police Arrest Two in Vallecas

Investigators report two arrests in Vallecas, not a gang dispute.

Overview

  • A 17-year-old was found around 2:00 on Calle Lagartera in Puente de Vallecas with a stab wound to the left chest; police and Samur teams performed CPR and a thoracotomy, but he died at the scene.
  • National Police detained two men over the Vallecas killing after a search operation, including one participant found nearby with stab wounds who was arrested following medical care.
  • Police sources say the detained men knew the 17-year-old and investigators are discarding a link to rival street gangs, while the precise motive remains under investigation.
  • At about 5:40 on Calle Alonso Cano in Chamberí, a 63-year-old with multiple stab wounds was found in cardiac arrest; after roughly 40 minutes of advanced resuscitation, emergency crews confirmed his death.
  • Specialized homicide and forensic units processed both scenes; the Chamberí case remains open with no arrests or motive publicly established.
