A Spanish judge has ordered the pretrial detention of a man identified as Julio B., suspected of fatally stabbing an 11-year-old boy in Villanueva de la Cañada (a small town west of Madrid), just before the 72-hour legal limit on preventive custody expired. The suspect had initially checked himself into the psychiatric unit of a hospital in Móstoles, accompanied by a relative, claiming to be experiencing a psychotic episode — having already changed his clothes, and without his mobile phone, which has not been recovered. Investigators believe he used a knife, based on cuts found on his hands, though neither the weapon nor the phone has been located, deepening concern about the circumstances surrounding the killing.
