A man has been killed and two others seriously injured by a knife in the early hours of this Friday to Saturday in the Teruel towns of Castellote and Mas de las Matas.

Apparently, the event took place during a fight in which several people from Eastern European countries would have been involved.

The Civil Guard has deployed a large device in the area to investigate what happened and has identified three people who could be involved in the events, although, for now, their degree of involvement is unknown.

As confirmed by the Civil Guard, the first notice was received at 11:30 p.m. on Friday after a person injured by a knife was treated in Castellote.

Shortly after, other men were treated at the Mas de las Matas health center, where shortly after one of these two wounded also by a knife died.

The two injured have been transferred from the Alcañiz hospital, where they were initially treated, to the Miguel Servet hospital in Zaragoza, where they remain in the ICU.

The corpse of the deceased was lifted by the Civil Guard and the coroner on duty at 4:00 in the morning, being transferred to the Forensic Anatomical Institute of Zaragoza to perform an autopsy.

At the moment, the circumstances of the attack on these three people are not known, nor is the degree of involvement in the events of the three identified who accompanied two of the wounded to the Mas de las Matas health center.

According to the newspaper La Comarca, several witnesses have indicated that around midnight a badly injured man went to a downtown bar in Castellote to ask for help.

They assure that he was very nervous and did not want to go to the hospital in case there were other people: “If I go they will kill me,” shouted the young man of non-Spanish origin who spoke French.

Despite this, residents of the town called the ambulance, and he was transferred to the Mas de las Matas Health Center, where he died shortly after arriving.

In the town they do not know any of those involved, so neighborhood sources do not rule out that it is related to marijuana plantations. A large marijuana plantation in the vicinity of the Santolea reservoir was recently dismantled.

A large deployment of police vehicles and Civil Guard cars arrived in the town the night of the event, identifying the drivers, and this Saturday the road controls continue and an underwater team has also been mobilized.
