All he said was that he couldn’t remember anything.

Fifty-nine-year-old German Ika Hoffmann was stabbed five times in the chest and abdomen at around six o’clock on Sunday morning. It is understood that Ika had welcomed Celestino Rodríguez, also 59 and originally from Granada, into her apartment.

Some time before, she had learned that he was destitute.
