As part of the proceedings, officers from the Provincial Scientific Police Brigade of the National Police attended the property in the San Juan neighbourhood. The specialists conducted a technical inspection inside the dwelling and collected material evidence, including evidence related to the knife used during the assault.
Suspect held pending judicial appearance
The man remains in custody at police headquarters whilst authorities complete the report with information from the complaint and evidence gathered during the inspection. He is expected to be brought before the corresponding court in the coming hours, where the judicial authority will determine his personal status.
