On 28 July 2026 a 34‑year‑old Brazilian woman, Camila Kellem da Silva Caldas, was stabbed to death in her apartment on Andrade Street, Sant Martí, Barcelona, while her two children (aged 4 and 8) were present. The assault occurred around 19:45‑19:47. The victim’s partner fled, abandoning a burnt car in nearby Sant Andreu, and voluntarily presented himself at a police station the following morning, after which he was taken into custody by the Mossos d'Esquadra. The case has been classified as a femicide and a gender‑based murder, recorded as Spain’s 32nd such killing in 2026 and the third in Catalonia.

The murder came amid a recent surge of knife attacks in the Barcelona area, including two other male victims in the preceding 48 hours, raising the regional death toll to three. Authorities launched a city‑wide search and, after the suspect’s surrender, continued the investigation through the division of criminal investigation. Political leaders and Spain’s Ministry of Equality condemned the killing, and Camila’s family, with assistance from the Brazilian consulate, has begun a campaign to return her remains to Brazil. Regional officials have called for stronger protection measures for victims of gender‑based violence and scheduled a minute of silence in Barcelona.
