Mallorca flatmate stabbed nine times: six years sought

In Artà, Mallorca, prosecutors seek six years in prison for a man accused of stabbing his flatmate nine times in their shared home on 23 July 2025. They also want him to pay 6,000 euros in compensation on an attempted homicide charge.

According to the prosecution, the man entered the bathroom that afternoon and stabbed his flatmate in the neck with a kitchen knife. The injured man pushed him out, but the accused came back and stabbed him eight more times. The flatmate escaped, covering his wounds with napkins a neighbour had given him as he made his way to a medical centre. He was then admitted to hospital in Manacor.

The Second Chamber of the Balearic Islands Provincial Court holds a preliminary hearing on Monday at 09.50. Prosecutors say the accused’s paranoid schizophrenia slightly impaired his ability to understand and control his actions at the time, and should count in mitigation. No verdict has been reached.
