Two men were killed in separate incidents in the Barcelona area on Saturday night into Sunday.

On the one hand, a 32-year-old was shot dead inside a bar in Blai street, in the Catalan capital's Poble-sec neighborhood.

The incident happened at around 12.45am, according to the Mossos d'Esquadra police.

Some officers, along with emergency services, were sent to the site, but no detentions have been made.

Mossos d'Esquadra are investigating the events, as some witnesses in the area have said that the author or author of the murder fled with a motorbike.

In parallel, a man was stabbed to death in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, just outside Barcelona's northern area.

The event occurred on Saturday at 9.30pm in Passeig Llorenç Serra.

In this case, the police did arrest the alleged author, a 47-year-old man, because he handed himself in to the police in Barcelona's Sant Andreu station.
