In late October 2026, two separate fatal stabbing incidents were reported in Spain.

On October 20, Spanish National Police arrested a 59-year-old man in the Villaverde area after he allegedly stabbed his 52-year-old partner in the Carabanchel district of Madrid. The victim, a Guatemalan national, died at Hospital 12 de Octubre after sustaining multiple wounds to the chest and abdomen. Investigators are treating the case as potential gender-based violence.

On October 30, a man was arrested following the fatal stabbing of a 45-year-old woman in the La Fama neighborhood of Murcia. The incident occurred on Santa Rita Street after neighbors reported hearing screams. Authorities cordoned off the area for forensic evidence collection, and the relationship between the victim and the suspect remains under investigation.
