A man killed two cousins aged 24 and 26 in Mataporquera, Cantabria, early Friday morning. The victims were neighbors of the suspect, who was detained shortly after the attack and taken into custody at the University Hospital Marqués de Valdecilla’s psychiatry unit. According to police reports, the incident occurred around 4:30 a.m. on the landing of a building on Calle Libertad. The suspect, a 52-year-old with multiple criminal records, was arrested at his home at 8:30 a.m. following a search operation by the Guardia Civil. The attack reportedly followed a dispute. Police found two men injured by a sharp weapon on the street, one of whom was being treated by emergency services before later dying at the Hospital Tres Mares in Reinosa. The other victim was found dead at the entrance of their residence. A sharp object with bloodstains was recovered from the scene and is under investigation to determine its involvement in the assault. The Guardia Civil confirmed during a press conference that the incident had been under investigation since Thursday afternoon. Earlier that day, an altercation involving the three individuals had already occurred. Authorities established a perimeter around the suspect's home, suspecting he might have been hiding there.
