Lleida court hears trial for 2022 taxi driver stabbing

A trial is underway in Lleida regarding the April 2022 killing of a 43-year-old taxi driver. Forensic experts testified that the victim sustained 26 stab wounds, primarily to the right side and back of his body, suggesting an attack from behind while he was in the rear seat of his vehicle.

Medical evidence indicated the victim suffered fatal injuries to his heart and jugular vein, leading to massive blood loss and hemorrhagic shock. Forensic reports noted wounds on the victim's forearm and left hand, which are consistent with attempts to defend himself or grab the weapon.

While investigators found no fingerprints from the accused in the taxi, DNA from the defendant was found on the handle of the murder weapon. The trial continues as the jury examines evidence regarding the forensic findings and the presence of DNA at the scene.
