• The crime A man is arrested for the stabbing death of his 14-year-old neighbor in an Oviedo apartment

The stabbing death of a 14-year-old girl in an

Oviedo

apartment mobilized the Police early yesterday afternoon and froze the quiet block of flats in which the crime was recorded.

The girl appeared at the house of her neighbor, a 32-year-old Moldovan man who had recently moved into the property on a rental basis and who, in principle, was not related to the victim and her family.

The scene that the agents found was confusing: the minor still alive, although already dying, and her alleged aggressor with deep stab wounds of different considerations.

The Police immediately arrested him as the alleged perpetrator of a crime of homicide, as sources in the investigation specified, although at that time, the young man did not clarify anything as his injuries prevented him, all of them serious, although he does not fear for his life.

According to the same sources, the girl had just returned from high school and was on her way to eat at home, where her family was waiting for her.

The investigators are considering two possibilities: that the arrested person injured himself after stabbing the minor or that she defended herself from the attack.

It was the father and the brother who left the house to look for her worried about her lateness.

Exiting the elevator, they found the trail of blood on the landing of the building.

The trail led to the first floor (the deceased lived on the fourth), to the young man's apartment.

The neighbors, alerted by the family and given the nervous state of the father, took it upon themselves to sound the alarm to the Police through a call.

The Police then went to the building, located at number 69

Vázquez de Mella Street

.

The agents followed the river of blood, which led them to the first floor.

Inside was the girl, still alive.

Inside it, moments were lived that pushed the police to the limit.

The agents insistently tried to revive her, although their efforts were unsuccessful.

The minor died in the arms of one of them, with which they were devastated.

In the same building, they found the young man seriously injured, although his life is not in danger.

In a few minutes, the building concentrated a large number of police and toilets.

The judicial delegation also arrived with the judge on duty at the head, the lawyer from the Administration of Justice and the forensic doctor.

The attacker, hospitalized

The ambulance staff who traveled to the scene could only certify the girl's death and stabilized the detainee a few meters from where the father and brother were.

Once they succeeded, they headed to a hospital.

Since then, he has been hospitalized with a reserved prognosis at the

Central University Hospital of Asturias

(HUCA).

The

Homicide Group of

the Oviedo National Police took charge of the investigation.

Apparently, the girl and the arrested man did not know each other or have any kind of relationship.

The acting judge on duty decreed the secrecy of the proceedings.

According to police sources, until late last night, the agents of the

Provincial Scientific Police Brigade

and the

Judicial

Brigade of the Oviedo Police Station continued to carry out investigations and take samples to clarify what happened.

The investigations are now focused on determining what precipitated the murder of the minor and if there was any previous disagreement between the family and the tenant of the first floor, who had been residing there for just over three weeks.

Late yesterday afternoon, the investigators began an interrogation round with neighbors and other witnesses that lasted well into the night to get closer to the circumstances that caused the crime.

It has not transpired if the detainee has a police or judicial record.
