BarcelonaOfficers from the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police) arrested a 20-year-old man on Tuesday night in connection with the violent death of a man in Sant Andreu, Barcelona. The victim was his mother's partner. According to information obtained by ARA and confirmed by the police in a statement, the incident occurred around 8:00 p.m. Emergency services (112) received a call from the alleged perpetrator reporting that he had injured another person with a knife at his home. Several Mossos d'Esquadra units, as well as paramedics from the Medical Emergency System (SEM), were dispatched to the scene—the apartment where the young man, his mother, and his stepfather lived. They began resuscitation efforts on the victim. The man was taken to a hospital in critical condition, and the stepson was arrested for attempted murder at the same apartment. Sources indicate that the arrested man's mother witnessed the events.
This Wednesday, the man died, and the case will be investigated as a homicide. The Criminal Investigation Division (DIC) has taken charge of the case.
