Kaile Villar Pons
Age 209 Oct 2024
Pamplona, Navarre (Spain)
Stabbed
Kaile was killed during an argument with a man.
A 20-year-old woman, Kaile Villar Pons, died early this morning as a result of a stabbing that occurred this morning in Pamplona. The incident took place this morning at 1:15 in the Rochapea neighborhood. Initially it was reported that the deceased was a man.
According to Navarra.com, a man of Moroccan nationality has stabbed the woman on calle Carmen Baroja Nessi.
Officers from the Pamplona Municipal Police and an emergency medical team were dispatched to the scene and transported the still injured woman to the University Hospital of Navarra in an advanced life support ambulance.
However the woman died due to the severity of the stab wounds.
Initial investigations appear to indicate that an argument began between the two, which ended tragically. The suspect allegedly stabbed the daughter of the owner of the flat, where several people were staying, several times, one of which was fatal, in the chest.
The Municipal Police of Pamplona have confirmed the arrest of a man as the alleged perpetrator of these events and it is expected that he will be brought before a court later today or early tomorrow morning.
Although Kaile's killing was widely reported in the media, the fact that she was trans was barely mentioned so her death was easily missed. Although in one respect this is progressiive - in an ideal world the fact that she was trans should not matter - however as things stand now it can be viewed as erasure of a vulnerable minority.
Like most murders of trans people, her murder quickly fell out of the headlines.
Despite the brutality of Kaile's murder, the Ministerio de Igualdad (Spanish Ministry for Equality) did not either condemn the murder or register the case as a femicide.
