The incident reportedly took place on Don Bosco Street just before 1:20 pm on this Monday, and observers indicate that a 56-year-old woman allegedly made a phone call or alerted someone that she had fallen or jumped from the window, landing with life-threatening injuries in the street below. Emergency responders arrived swiftly and commenced resuscitation attempts, spending several minutes attempting to revive her, but ultimately they were unable to overcome the extent of the injuries sustained from the fall.

Investigators from the National Police, aided by the Municipal Fire Brigade using a ladder apparatus, reached the interior of the residence in a rapid response. Inside the home they found an 84-year-old woman lying in what witnesses described as a large pool of blood, suffering from multiple stab wounds. Medical teams confirmed that this second casualty had succumbed to her injuries as well, a conclusion reiterated by Madrid Emergencies personnel and corroborated by first responders at the scene. The discovery of two fatalities in the apartment triggered a detailed on-site examination and a coordinated response to preserve any potential evidence that might illuminate the sequence of events.

Early theories under consideration suggest that the younger woman may have killed the elder roommate first and then taken her own life by throwing herself from the sixth-floor window where she resided. Neighbors described a tense living situation, noting ongoing disagreements and friction within the household that had been widely observed in the community. Both residents had reportedly been under psychiatric care, and authorities indicated that their medical histories were being reviewed as part of the inquiry. The Scientific Police and Homicide Group have been onsite, collecting evidence and obtaining statements to reconstruct the events and determine the precise sequence that led to the fatalities. The investigation remains ongoing as specialists work to analyze forensic findings, gather testimonies, and piece together the timeline of this distressing incident.
