One of the minors detained in connection with the Manresa crime had left a detention centre barely a month before the incident, according to reporting by Google News ES — Crime (es) citing sources from elpais.com.

One of the victims described the attack in direct terms: "Without saying anything to me, he stabbed me", she recounted to the outlet.

The detention of the minor has focused attention on the system of detention centres for young offenders and the supervision following their release. The case has raised questions about the follow-up protocols once minors leave this type of facility.
