Two young people report an alleged rape by chemical submission after a party with drugs in a tourist apartment in Gran Vía

Two Peruvian women, aged 18 and 19, reported a suspected chemical submission sexual assault after attending a drug-fueled party at a tourist apartment on Gran Vía in Madrid. They woke up disoriented near a bench close to the Laguna metro station, experiencing physical discomfort including pain and erosion in the genital area and anal region. Both were nervous and dazed when they initially spoke to local police. The women claimed they had consumed alcohol mixed with energy drinks during the event and later felt dizzy, leading them to the bathroom where they became increasingly disoriented. They lost consciousness and awoke together on a bench with their friend, though one was wearing an unfastened bra. Medical personnel and a psychologist attended to them, and the police initiated an investigation into potential chemical submission and sexual aggression. Neither woman admitted to using drugs, while one noted others had consumed substances like tusi and marijuana.

Three women murdered in just a few hours in their homes in Toledo, Alicante and Malaga

Three women were found murdered in their homes in Toledo, Alicante, and Málaga within hours, with their husbands detained.

One child called emergency services, and the suspect self-harmed. In Alicante, a 61-year-old husband was detained for suspected gender-based violence after killing his 56-year-old wife, who had previously filed a complaint against him. In Málaga, another woman was found dead with signs of violence, though the circumstances remain under investigation. Additionally, a man died in Barcelona after being stabbed following a dispute involving an order of protection.

Police are investigating the stabbing death of a woman in a house in Antequera (Málaga)

The Spanish newspaper El Mundo reports on the investigation into the stabbing death of a 30-year-old woman in Antequera, Málaga. The police are examining whether this incident is linked to the suicide of a 35-year-old man who jumped from the walls of the Alcazaba fortress earlier the same day. Initial findings suggest the woman’s death was caused by multiple stab wounds, potentially indicating gender-based violence. Authorities have cordoned off the area and are awaiting autopsy results before confirming the cause of death. This case would add to a growing number of violent deaths against women in Málaga, including two recent incidents where victims were stabbed at home and their homes set on fire. In another related case, a 35-year-old woman disappeared in April, and her ex-partner confessed to murdering her and hiding her body.

The government will approve this Tuesday the law of vicarious violence that classifies it as a specific crime

The Spanish government is set to approve a law this Tuesday that classifies domestic violence as a specific criminal offense.

Government reformulates law against vicarious violence: it will be an aggravating factor for gender reasons, not a new crime

The Spanish government has announced plans to reform the law against domestic violence by reclassifying the offense as a aggravating factor based on gender, rather than establishing it as a new crime. This change would mean that acts of domestic violence would carry additional penalties if they are motivated by gender-based discrimination. The reform aims to align legal frameworks with existing protections while avoiding the creation of a separate criminal category for domestic violence.

Woman burned alive by two hit men hired by her husband dies in Madrid

Aisha, a 30-year-old woman from Madrid, has died after being severely burned in an attack orchestrated by her former partner, Ibrahim B., who allegedly hired two of his employees to carry out the assault. The incident occurred in February 2026 when the attackers entered her home using keys provided by Ibrahim, covered their faces, struck her violently, doused her with flammable liquid, and set her on fire while she held her six-month-old child. The child was unharmed but initially faced life-threatening risks, prompting authorities to investigate the case as a potential double murder attempt. Ibrahim remains in custody along with the two perpetrators, who were arrested weeks after the attack. Investigations revealed that Ibrahim had previously attempted to poison Aisha, as reported by her brother, who provided video evidence. The motive appears linked to Aisha’s decision to separate from her husband.

The Government is rethinking the law on male vicarious violence: it will be an aggravating factor and not a specific crime

The Spanish government has revised the law on machista domestic violence, changing its status from a specific crime to an aggravating factor within existing criminal code provisions. The proposed legislation defines 'machista vicarious violence' as a particularly cruel form of gender-based violence where perpetrators use children or other family members to harm the victim. This change, which reduces the legal classification of the offense, was reached after nine months of debate between the Ministry of Equality, the Ministry of Children, and the Ministry of Justice. Initially, the proposal aimed to establish this type of violence as a standalone crime, aligning with international human rights standards. However, concerns were raised by judicial experts and specialists about potential misuse, including cases where abusers file false reports against women. The revised version now treats the act as an aggravating factor rather than a distinct offense.

Las Tablas Crime: Facundo was murdered by Alberto, a husband obsessed with his wife's infidelity

A man named Alberto Juan allegedly murdered Facundo Rico, an Argentine engineer living in Madrid's Las Tablas neighborhood, after suspecting his wife had an affair with Facundo. Alberto, a 65-year-old Spanish man, entered Facundo's home in the morning, leading to a confrontation where Facundo was killed with 13 stab wounds. Alberto then returned to his residence in Ávila and committed suicide by jumping from a cliff less than 24 hours later. The police investigation suggests Alberto was obsessed with his wife's alleged infidelity and acted out of jealousy. Surveillance footage captured Alberto's distinctive appearance and movements, while witnesses reported hearing screams and detecting a chemical smell. The case has concluded due to Alberto's death, but investigators believe the motive stemmed from emotional issues related to the suspected affair.
