Two minors, aged 15 and 16, have been detained following the fatal stabbing of a 45-year-old man in Manresa during the city's local festival. The victim, a resident of Castellnou de Bages, was reportedly killed during a brawl involving two groups of people around 5:10 am.

The juvenile prosecutor has requested that both detainees be held in closed-regime detention. Interior Minister Núria Parlon clarified that both minors were born in Catalonia and live with their families, countering claims that they were unaccompanied immigrants. She also criticized political groups for using the tragedy to incite social hatred.

Manresa Mayor Marc Aloy expressed profound shock and announced that the City Council will join the legal proceedings as a popular accusation. A minute of silence was held in the city to honor the victim, who was known for his active community involvement.
