Barcelona femicide on Andrade Street

Entities: Mossos d'Esquadra · Suspect (partner) · Division of Investigation Criminal (DIC) · Suspect (partner of victim) · Andrade Street

Overview

On 28 July 2026 a 34‑year‑old woman, Camila Kellem da Silva Caldas, was stabbed to death in her apartment on Andrade Street in Barcelona’s Sant Martí district. Police said the attack occurred around 19:45, with two minor children present. The victim’s partner fled the scene; his vehicle was later found burned in the nearby Sant Andreu district. The Mossos d'Esquadra took over the investigation, and the suspect, identified as Yarman, a Dominican man in his forties, turned himself in at a police station early the next morning and remains in custody pending a judicial appearance.

The case is being treated as a gender‑based murder, with the Division of Criminal Investigation leading the probe. It is the 32nd gender‑based killing recorded in Spain in 2026 and the third femicide in Catalonia this year, following two other knife killings in the Barcelona metropolitan area within 48 hours. Authorities scheduled a minute of silence in Barcelona and the national gender‑based violence committee highlighted the rising number of femicides, noting 31 women had been killed in Spain so far in 2026.
