Man Arrested for Alleged Murder of 'Shabba'
Police say the woman was stabbed at her partner’s home and two acquaintances were arrested after allegedly helping move her body.
- On Monday, September 28, officers arrested a 30-year-old Brazilian man in Benidorm for allegedly stabbing his 33-year-old partner to death during an argument.
- Investigators are treating the case as a suspected 'crimen machista,' the Spanish term for gender-based killing, though police noted no previous complaints of abuse had been recorded between the couple.
- Two acquaintances, aged 40 and 45, reported the suspect's confession to officers but were themselves arrested for allegedly helping conceal the body in fields between Benidorm and Finestrat.
- Under Spanish law, the charge of 'encubrimiento' for concealing a crime carries six to three years in prison; all three men are expected to appear before an investigating court in Benidorm.
- This incident adds to 37 women killed by partners in Spain so far in 2026, the highest total since 2023; those affected by domestic abuse can call 016 or 112 for help.
