Woman Killed in Sevilla Este as 21-Year-Old Is Detained in Suspected Gender-Based Killing

The suspect is hospitalized under guard after an apparent suicide attempt.

Overview

  • Emergency services received a 3:10 a.m. call reporting a bleeding woman seeking help in a portal on Calle Tigris in the Sevilla Este neighborhood.
  • Police detained a 21-year-old man as the presumed attacker and are investigating the case under the hypothesis of gender-based violence.
  • Early findings indicate a prior assault at the couple’s residence, after which the woman fled before being fatally attacked in the street with a bladed weapon.
  • Authorities report the victim was about 28 years old; reports conflict over whether she had an active record in Spain’s VioGén monitoring system.
  • If confirmed as gender-based, this would be the 29th femicide recorded in Spain in 2025, and officials have publicly urged people to report suspected abuse.
