The Guardia Civil has arrested seven individuals in the provinces of Murcia, Castellón, and Alicante on charges of attempted homicide for the savage beating of an 18-year-old young man in La Murada (Orihuela). The young man was the collateral victim of a settling of scores with two companions who were with him, who were able to escape, according to sources close to the case. In October 2024, the incident transpired, resulting in severe injuries. The young man has been hospitalised in a vegetative state and is currently receiving mechanical assistance to maintain his life.
The detainees were brought before the Orihuela Court of Instruction No. 3, which ordered the imprisonment of two of the perpetrators, a 39-year-old Spanish man and a 31-year-old Algerian man, and the release of the other five on parole.
Numerous assaults
The investigation was initiated by the Judicial Police Team of the Almoradí Guardia Civil on October 29th, 2024, in response to a series of assaults that had taken place the previous evening. Several individuals who fled the situation proceeded to beat the victim brutally.
Three companions were in a park in the La Murada district on the night of the incident, October 28th, when a group of individuals approached them and attacked them without hesitation.
The third of the three youths in the park was beaten by the group, which then fled the scene in a car. Two of the youths were able to flee, but the third was unable to do so.
The victim sustained a brain haematoma because of the assault, which has resulted in severe after-effects and has placed his life in jeopardy.

Complex studies
The perpetrators were the subject of an investigation by the Judicial Police. The Guardia Civil stated that the operation was “extremely intricate” due to the large number of participants and the absence of any initial information that would have facilitated their identification. Investigators initiated the process of gathering statements from the surrounding area.
They found one of the attackers’ license plates, which had been rented just before the crime to go to Murada that day. It is likely that they were attempting to avoid being discovered.
Without uttering a single word
After conducting an exhaustive investigation for several months, the officers determined that seven perpetrators, all of whom were residents of Murcia, had travelled to the park where the three companions were located in two vehicles. Five individuals exited the two vehicles without speaking, leaving the two drivers inside. The remaining five individuals viciously beat one of the three young men in the park, preventing him from escaping. The perpetrators escaped in the two vehicles after leaving him unconscious on the ground.
Five of the attackers were apprehended in Murcia, one in Burriana (Castellón), and the final one in Almoradí after the investigators identified all of the attackers and located the other vehicle implicated on July 22nd, 23rd, and 29th, 2025. The seven males, who range in age from 26 to 42, have been charged with attempted homicide that resulted in severe injuries.
