Barcelona woman Camila Kellem fatally stabbed in apartment

On 28 July 2026 a 34‑year‑old Brazilian woman, Camila Kellem da Silva Caldas, was stabbed to death inside her apartment on Andrade Street in Barcelona’s Sant Martí district. The attack occurred around 19:45‑19:47 while her two children, aged 4 and 8, were present.

The suspect, identified as the victim’s partner, fled the scene. His car was later discovered burnt in the nearby Sant Andreu district. He was subsequently arrested after turning himself in at a police station.

The Mossos d'Esquadra’s Division of Criminal Investigation is handling the case, which has been classified as a femicide and a gender‑based murder. It is the 32nd gender‑based murder recorded in Spain in 2026, the third femicide in Catalonia this year and the first such killing in Barcelona.

Political leaders and the Spanish Ministry of Equality condemned the murder. Camila’s family has begun a campaign to bring her body back to Brazil and seek justice, with assistance from the Brazilian consulate in Barcelona.
