Adults arrested in connection with a man's homicide in Balsareny, Barcelona, were ordered into provisional imprisonment without bail by a Manresa court on Sunday. The decision by the Manresa duty court follows the arrest of five men, aged between 17 and 47, on Saturday.
The arrests are linked to the death of a man whose body was discovered at his home in Balsareny in February of this year. Catalonia's High Court of Justice (TSJC) confirmed the court's ruling via a message on X, stating that the case is open for a homicide offence.
Police Investigation Under Secrecy
Mossos d'Esquadra communicated via X that they detained the five men on Saturday, 19 April 2026. The police force's Criminal Investigation Division (DIC) is continuing the investigation, which remains under secrecy of proceedings. This means that details of the ongoing inquiry are not being made public to protect the integrity of the evidence and witness testimonies.
The provisional imprisonment, communicated and without bail, applies specifically to the adult detainees, according to the TSJC. This judicial measure ensures that the suspects remain in custody while the complex investigation into the man's death progresses. The court's order highlights the seriousness of the charges and the need for continued police work.
The ongoing police and judicial investigation is expected to uncover further details regarding the circumstances of the man's death and the specific involvement of those detained in Balsareny.
