An arrest connected to the killing of Alfredo Ogando Uceta, known locally as Gualey, has been made as the investigation unfolds in Navarre, Spain. The suspect was detained at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport on January 15 while returning from Spain. The authorities report that the incident occurred in the town of Villava, within the Navarre region. The arrest involved officers from both the National Police and the Foral Police at the airport. He is expected to appear before the head of Pamplona Investigation Court No. 4 later in the week to respond to charges involving murder or manslaughter.
During the early hours of January 15, the fatal confrontation happened in the Landazabal industrial area of Villava. Ogando Uceta, a 48-year-old man of Dominican origin, sustained stab wounds that proved fatal. The victim was identified by his widely recognized nickname, which had local familiarity, prompting a formal inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the attack.
Initial information suggested that the alleged assailant was another foreign national who, at the time, was believed to reside in Turkey. The crime scene was reported to be in Mutilva, Navarre. After the incident, the suspect fled and his whereabouts were not known immediately, complicating the early stages of the investigation.
In the days following the murder, provincial police apprehended a second individual who allegedly assisted the primary suspect in the crime. Investigators continue to determine the extent of the involvement and accountability of this cooperating party.
The investigative teams are piecing together timelines, motives, and connections in a bid to establish a coherent narrative of the events that led to the victim’s death. While each party is examined, officials emphasize the importance of careful legal proceedings and the presumption of innocence for those charged. The case remains under active investigation as prosecutors and magistrates assess the available evidence and prepare for upcoming court appearances.
