He did not spend it, however, in a conventional cell, but in the Psychiatric Hospital Unit. According to sources consulted by ARA, the resolution issued this Tuesday by the Esplugues judge did not request that he be admitted to such an area, but the director of the penitentiary center has decided so. The objective is for psychiatrists to analyze him before deciding whether to send him to a conventional module.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/c14916f8-d831-458d-91b0-878f0d3ed5dd_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0_x487y218.jpg" /></p><p>On Monday, in <em>En boca de todos</em>, they insisted that the stabbing in Esplugues was a jihadist attack despite official information ruling it out. Nacho Abad, the king of sensationalism and disinformation, summarized the case to his audience with cruel flippancy: “<em>A North African immigrant stabbed a 16-year-old girl and caused a fuss</em>”. He not only got the victim's age wrong. He also didn't care about the name of the neighborhood where the events took place, and he called <em>Finestrelles</em><em>Finisterre</em> instead. And then he added: “<em>Or I don't remember what it's called</em>”. It is the arrogance of a lack of scruples, which even allows him to display ignorance. When a neighbor corrected him on the age of the murdered woman and told him she was 41 years old, Abad, instead of correcting himself and apologizing, asked the interviewee to justify her mistake: “<em>You, like me, will also have read in all the media that the victim was 16 years old</em>”.The program kept repeating the recordings of the neighbors in a loop and the photograph of the aggressor. The video had a sensationalist narration typical of those videos from <em>Aqui hay tomate</em>. But a very serious and symptomatic event occurred. When Nacho Abad handed over to the reporter who was in Esplugues, pointing out the nationality of the aggressor, in the brief silence of the connection, a voice was heard filtering from a microphone in the studio, whispering: "<em>The word is "moro"</em>". It is worth paying attention to, but it can be heard perfectly. Exactly, at 11 hours, 12 minutes and 32 seconds in the midday, according to the time label of the program itself on screen. The racist comment betrays the ideological perspective of the program. Nacho Abad focused the information emphasizing the terrorist attack as the main hypothesis. The reporter interviewed one neighbor and two female neighbors, one of whom insisted that the attacker shouted "Allah" at the moment of attacking the victim. The presenter questioned the woman, making her repeat if she believed it was a jihadist act. "Total jihadist attack", was the response. To vary, the spokesperson for a Mossos union confirmed that the cry of "Allahu Akbar" was usually indicative of this type of terrorism. "Do you think it is a jihadist attack?", Abad asked the panelists, and some of them answered yes with conviction, based more on their gut feeling than on journalistic rigor.Abad pressured the neighbors to explain the cause of the neighborhood insecurity they perceived, and asked if they related it to the increase in immigration in the neighborhood. Once he obtained an affirmative answer, he asked for confirmation from the spokesperson for Mossos, who ratified it. “<em>You are linking insecurity in Barcelona with the amount of immigration in Barcelona</em>,” he repeated to him, so that he would make it very clear. The motivation for all the information was purely xenophobic. The proof of how crime news is becoming ideological ammunition.</p>]]></description>

      <subtitle><![CDATA[The image of a person with a huge knife in their hands, cornered by the police after having killed another person, is deeply alarming, and it is essential that we do not add more anguish to the facts that are known with unprovable assumptions. But precisely because the anguish is justified, it is vital that the Mossos – and ultimately, the Government – definitively rule out or confirm whether we are facing a terrorist attack. Because the facts, regardless of their motive, are terrifying.]]></subtitle>

The man also threatened several neighbors with a knife and slightly injured another. The scene was extremely violent: a witness explains that the man stabbed the victim several times in the back next to some dumpsters and, after threatening other people and with the woman already on the ground, he went back to look for her to cut her throat. Everything indicates that the man and the woman did not know each other and that she was a victim chosen at random, arbitrarily.</p>]]></description>

The Catalan police force received the alert around 11 a.m. this morning, through a call to 112 informing that a man had injured a woman and fled the scene. As the ARA has been able to ascertain, the murder allegedly occurred in the middle of Joan Miró street with a bladed weapon. In fact, according to residents of the area, the man had previously brandished a large knife and showed signs of nervousness. When the Mossos d'Esquadra units and the emergency medical services (SEM) arrived, they could no longer do anything to save the woman's life, who had received several stab wounds.</p>]]></description>
