A man died yesterday in Pamplona’s Rochapea district after an incident involving his partner, who was detained at the scene. Authorities say the events unfolded in the early afternoon, and the investigation remains active as police review what happened and why.
According to statements from Pamplona Municipal Police, the incident occurred around 2:30 p.m. on Portal 6 of Calle Bernardino Tirapu, the residence of the couple. Responding officers found a grievously injured man, estimated to be in his forties, and a woman in her thirties beside him. They were attempting to tend to the wounds when the first responders arrived.
An ambulance was dispatched to the location, but medical personnel arrived too late to save the man, who was declared dead at the scene. Early reports indicate that the man and the woman were involved in a relationship but did not reside together at the property where the incident occurred. Investigators have not released several details about the dynamics of their relationship, stating that this part of the case is still under review while they gather evidence from the scene.
The accused, the woman believed to be his partner, was arrested at the scene and is currently in the custody of the Pamplona Municipal Police. Prosecutors are expected to determine the next steps, with a court appearance anticipated either today or tomorrow as the investigation moves forward.
In the hours following the event, the street was cordoned off to pedestrians to secure the scene. Neighbors and passersby gathered at a safe distance, some asking questions about what had occurred. Access to the block was temporarily restricted, with residents needing to use the garage entry to return to their homes while officers conducted their work. Local authorities urged calm as they continued to collect evidence and interview witnesses who may provide additional context to the case.
The incident has sent a ripple of concern through the community, highlighting the ongoing effort by police to address violent acts within the city and to ensure public safety. As the investigation unfolds, officials will likely release more details about the relationship between the individuals involved and the events leading up to the fatal wound, while also reviewing any applicable protective orders or prior reports that could shed light on the circumstances surrounding this tragedy.
