On August 7, 2025, Spanish police arrested a 34-year-old man in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 45-year-old British man in Málaga, southern Spain. The incident occurred at approximately 1:30 a.m. near a popular nightlife area in the city’s center, where the victim was found with multiple stab wounds to the chest and abdomen. Emergency services transported him to a local hospital, but he succumbed to his injuries two hours later. The suspect, a Spanish national with a prior record of minor offenses, was apprehended after a brief chase following witness reports. Police recovered a knife believed to be the weapon used in the attack. The investigation revealed the altercation may have stemmed from a dispute outside a bar, though the exact motive remains under review. Authorities have detained the suspect, who is now in custody awaiting formal charges. Málaga’s police force deployed 12 officers to secure the scene and interview 15 witnesses, including bar staff and bystanders. The British Consulate in Málaga has been notified and is assisting the victim’s family. This marks the third violent incident in Málaga this month, prompting increased patrols in the area. The case is being handled by the National Police, with forensic analysis ongoing to confirm details.
