In Dos Hermanas, a 31-year-old woman died after a fatal stabbing believed to be carried out by her ex-partner. The incident occurred early on Friday, with authorities confirming the death this morning. The National Police are handling the investigation and a formal statement has been issued to update the public on the progress and next steps.
The fatal wounds were sustained around 6:00 am, reportedly during a confrontation with the man who is identified as the father of three children and who held a restraining order at the time. The man is currently in police custody and is expected to appear before court on Saturday to respond to the charges arising from this case.
The attack took place at a residence in the Montequinto area of Dos Hermanas. First responders found two Guatemalan adults with stab injuries and transported them to hospital for urgent treatment. The authorities have not released further details about the condition of the second victim, but the scene prompted a broader safety response from local police and emergency services.
The woman underwent emergency surgery to address serious heart damage and remains in critical condition at Virgen del Rocío hospital in Seville. Medical teams are continuing to monitor her status as additional tests are planned. An autopsy has been scheduled for Sunday to determine the precise cause and context of the injuries and to aid the ongoing investigation.
The alleged attacker sustained injuries of his own and is receiving medical care at an emergency center. Investigative teams are coordinating with hospital staff to piece together the sequence of events leading up to the assault and to determine any possible factors that may have contributed to the incident.
Locals report that three children share custody among the couple, aged 3, 4, and 8 years old. Authorities have not detailed the children’s current arrangements or their wellbeing following the traumatic events, but social services are expected to provide support as the case moves forward.
