On Saturday, February 14th, police from Onil (Alicante) and the Guardia Civil arrested a 24-year-old man who is accused of attacking a mother and her daughter, who was his ex-partner, at a home in Calella (Barcelona) on January 8th. Both women were taken to the hospital, where the daughter is still being treated.
The Mossos d’Esquadra said in a statement on Monday that the Criminal Investigation Division (DIC) took over the case and named the guy as the suspect. The suspect had run away after making plans to apprehend him, therefore a search and arrest warrant was obtained.
The police in Onil were able to find him and arrest him after checking the current arrest warrant for him in connection with two attempted murders.
The man is waiting to be sent to Catalonia and put in the hands of the Arenys (Barcelona) court, which is in charge of the case.
The attack happened at 3 p.m. in the family’s house. Catalan police and the Medical Emergency System (SEM) came right away and took both women to the hospital.
