The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested a 67-year-old man this Friday as the alleged perpetrator of the violent death of his mother in the Sant Andreu district of Barcelona. As ARA has been able to learn, the victim was 92 years old and the crime occurred with a bladed weapon in a socio-sanitary center. The Criminal Investigation Division (DIC) is already investigating the facts.

A woman has died in a hospital in a suspected case of gender-based violence in Barcelona, ​​according to ARA. On October 18, Catalan police located a woman on a street in the Sant Martí district who had suffered a serious physical assault and was in critical condition. The woman was taken to the hospital, where she died almost a month later. As a result of the investigation, officers from the Sant Martí Investigation Unit arrested the suspected perpetrator, who was the victim's partner. The 30-year-old man was then brought before a judge as the suspected perpetrator of attempted homicide. A restraining order had been issued against him.

As reported by the High Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC), the man had already been arrested at the end of August for an alleged assault on the woman. This assault was reported by a third party, and although the victim did not want to testify against her partner, the duty judge issued a protection order for the woman, prohibiting the aggressor from approaching or communicating with her. A month later, the man was arrested – on October 19 – for violating the restraining order and assaulting the victim, who ultimately died in the hospital. Now, the Badalona court handling the case is awaiting documentation to formally charge the alleged perpetrator of the assault that resulted in the victim's death. The Department of Equality and Feminism has already condemned the woman's death as a gender-based murder and expressed its deepest condolences to the victim. For its part, the Spanish government's Delegation against Gender Violence, under the Ministry of Equality, stated that it is compiling data on the case. So far this year, there have been six femicides in Catalonia, with five women murdered and one linked femicide—when a woman's child is killed. Since official data collection began in 2012, 144 women and 10 children and young people have died in Catalonia in cases of gender-based violence.
