An arrest has been made in connection with the homicide at the home on Rúa Quiroga in Lugo, where Cristina Cabo Buján was killed. The event has drawn significant attention as officials work to determine the sequence of events and establish a clear timeline for the incident that shocked the local community.
The victim, a 42-year-old woman, was discovered on Sunday inside her residence, bearing multiple stab wounds in the bedroom. Investigators are pursuing a thorough examination of the scene while relatives and neighbors offer varying accounts of that evening. According to sources consulted by Europa Press, the suspect and the victim had reportedly met at a nightlife venue on the morning of the incident, a detail that is helping investigators piece together the events leading up to the crime.
Law enforcement officials confirmed that the National Police identified and detained a man in connection with the case on Tuesday. The individual, a 32-year-old with Colombian nationality, had been living in Lugo for only two months prior to the arrest. Authorities described the suspect as a person of interest who had an opportunity to leave the area, and he was apprehended before any escape could be completed. The arrest took place as part of ongoing inquiries and after the suspect had provided statements to investigators on multiple occasions in the days prior.
During the search of the suspect’s residence, a number of personal items belonging to the victim were located. Among these items was the victim’s laptop, which is being examined by authorities to determine if it contains information relevant to the investigation, including potential communications or digital footprints that might illuminate the motive or the events that led to the homicide.
As the legal process unfolds, the detainee is expected to be presented before a court once further statements are recorded and a full case file is compiled. Prosecutors will review the available evidence, including witness statements and physical items recovered during the search, to determine the precise charges and the appropriate course of action in the next procedural steps. The investigation continues to evolve as authorities assess new information and corroborate the details provided by persons connected to the case, with the public awaiting additional official updates from the National Police and related judicial authorities.
Europa Press, citing unnamed sources, notes that the early proximity of the suspect to the victim and the timing of the meeting at a nightlife venue are pivotal elements in the investigation. The case remains a focal point for the Lugo community as officials work to ensure a transparent, rigorous process that clarifies the circumstances surrounding Cristina Cabo Buján’s death and supports any potential witnesses who may come forward with further information.
