A 60-year-old Colombian man dies after being stabbed in a Pamplona dog park
On Thursday afternoon, a woman walking her dog found the body of Nelson Enrique Fajardo Martínez in a garden area of the Echavacoiz neighbourhood in Pamplona. The man, a 60-year-old resident of Barañáin of South American origin, had a large kitchen knife stuck in his chest. The Policía Nacional (Spanish national police) is investigating the incident as a violent death, although its official statement provides no further details: "any possibility other than a natural death," they said, with an obviousness that needs no comment.
Fajardo, of Colombian origin, had been living in Navarra for years. The circumstances of his death raise uncomfortable questions: why did a 60-year-old man end up in a dog park at that hour? What was he doing there with a kitchen knife? In the area around the dog park, known as a nighttime meeting point for cruising, the risk of violent encounters is real. The hypothesis of an argument between attendees at these meetings or a settling of accounts between acquaintances is on the table.
What is puzzling is the coldness of the weapon: a large kitchen knife is not an object one carries around by chance. It suggests premeditation or a conflict that escalated in a specific place. As long as the Policía Nacional does not offer more data, the case remains open and speculation, especially that pointing to violence between groups, does not cease. The Echavacoiz dog park has become, against all odds, the scene of a crime that forces us to face the reality of poorly lit and poorly monitored public spaces.
