The Guardia Civil is examining the violent death of a 52-year-old man found in the Valencian town of Faura on Sunday, with knife wounds identified at the scene. The Homicide Group of the Valencia Command has taken charge of the investigation, coordinating the early stages as officers work to establish the sequence of events and identify any possible suspects or motives.
The guard’s court in Sagunto proceeded to recover the body at approximately 13:15 on Sunday. The body was transported to the Valencia Institute of Legal Medicine, where the relevant autopsy will be conducted on Monday to determine the precise cause of death and to collect any forensic evidence that might shed light on the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Officers from the Homicide Group, the Criminalistics laboratory, and the forensic team assembled at the location where the body was found to carry out a meticulous technical ocular inspection and gather physical evidence. The collaboration among these units is essential for piecing together how the events unfolded, including any possible witness statements or security footage that might be available.
At present, the only information publicly released is that the deceased person sustained knife injuries. The Sagunto court handling the case has sealed the proceedings, keeping details confidential as investigators continue their work and preserve the integrity of the inquiry for potential court proceedings.
Further updates will come through official channels as the autopsy results and the ongoing forensic analysis provide more clarity about the incident. The investigation remains active, with law enforcement prioritizing a thorough and respectful handling of the case while ensuring all leads are properly explored and documented for the judicial process.
