Overview
- The 53-year-old suspect from As Neves entered his ex‑wife’s home in Carrasqueira armed with a knife and pursued her while family were present, and a daughter was injured shielding her mother.
- The attacker had a court restraining order and had removed his telematic monitoring bracelet before driving to the house, which triggered protection-system alarms but did not stop the assault.
- Security forces located and detained the suspect in Salvaterra do Miño and he is now in custody as investigations and protective measures continue.
- The mother and several daughters were placed in the Vigo emergency centre for women (CEMVI) and the injured daughter was admitted to Hospital Álvaro Cunqueiro.
- Authorities reiterated 24/7 support and emergency contacts for victims, including telephone 016, email 016-online@igualdad.gob.es, WhatsApp 600 000 016, and emergency numbers 112, 091 and 062, while the case may prompt review of electronic-monitoring procedures.
