A 21-year-old man has been detained in connection with the fatal stabbing of a woman in Seville's Este district early Sunday morning. National Police confirmed the arrest following an emergency call received at approximately 3:10 AM alerting authorities to an injured woman bleeding and calling for help in a doorway on Tigris Street. Emergency services from the 112 Andalusia coordination center dispatched National Police, Local Police, and medical teams to the location.
Medical personnel from the 061 emergency service confirmed the victim's death at the scene and indicated the case could potentially involve gender-based violence. The victim, also reported to be 21 years old, has not been publicly identified as authorities continue their investigation. The suspect was transported to Virgen Macarena Hospital after attempting to self-harm following the incident, according to medical sources.
Seville Mayor José Luis Sanz condemned the killing through his official X account, expressing being "appalled by the terrible event" that occurred in Sevilla Este. The mayor extended his "most absolute condemnation for this murder" and offered heartfelt condolences to the victim's family, neighbors, and close associates. The public statement came hours after the early morning incident that shocked the local community.
National Police maintain an open investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the crime and whether it constitutes a case of gender-based violence. Authorities are examining the relationship between the victim and suspect while gathering evidence from the crime scene. The case has drawn attention to violence against women in Spain, though officials emphasize the investigation remains ongoing without definitive conclusions about motives or circumstances.
