• Events Arrested for stabbing a man to death in the middle of the street in Montcada

It was one of the most bloody crimes that are remembered in Montcada i Reixac (Barcelona) and for which dozens of people took to the streets to express their rejection and observe a minute of silence. Starting next Tuesday, the Barcelona Court will judge a man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend's partner when he was leaving his home in this town. The defendant inflicted numerous stab wounds that caused 118 injuries, twenty of them penetrating to the head, face and abdomen, and later he amputated his genital organs. The victim died as a result of the injuries caused.

The Prosecutor's Office asks for 22 and a half years in prison for the accused in addition to a 10-year sentence of probation when he is released from prison and not being able to communicate or approach his ex-partner. He also demands that he compensate the victim's relatives with 380,000 euros. The prosecutor's brief indicates that at around 7 a.m. on June 1, 2019, the defendant, with prior records, went to a bar near the home of his ex-girlfriend in an area near the Rodalies de Santa Maria de Montcada station. Reixac and there they waited for him to come out.

She did it hours later accompanied by her partner, with whom she had just resumed the relationship after having interrupted it for a few months. The defendant left the bar hastily and went to the couple with a large knife, which he hid in a backpack, to kill them. The victim got in his way to avoid assaulting the woman and the defendant began to want to stick the knife in her neck without succeeding.

However, the victim fell to the ground and the accused sat on it, preventing him from moving and being able to defend himself. According to the prosecutor, he sought to cause him "a terrible unnecessary pain to achieve the lethal end pursued." This caused him numerous stab wounds throughout his body, especially his head, and caused 118 injuries. Then he cut off her genitals. The victim died shortly after from numerous injuries.

The accused was reduced by various people who saw the attack from the bar until Mossos d'Esquadra agents arrived and arrested him. According to several witnesses, for several days she had threatened her ex-partner's current boyfriend with killing him. After the crime, the Montcada i Reixac City Council convened a rally to reject the murder and observe a minute of silence in solidarity with the victim and her relatives. As the murder was on the street, the Town Hall made social services available to those who might feel psychologically affected by the deadly attack.

The Prosecutor's Office points out that at the time of committing the crime the accused had his faculties affected by a paranoid schizophrenia and personality disorder, so it considers that this mitigating factor should be taken into account.

Despite this, he claims more than 22 years in prison for murder for treachery and cruelty.
