The three knew each other beforehand. The victim and the attacker had had a serious altercation a few hours before the stabbing. The suspect even called the young man's mother and told her he was going to kill her son.
The tension between them became so intense that the victim's brothers got into a car and travelled from their village in the Guadalhorce Valley to Malaga city to help him and stop the attack. On the way, they discovered that their brother had already been stabbed.
The attack took place in the amusement park area of the fair at around 4.15am. The perpetrator stabbed the young man in the chest with a large knife he had at the cocktail stall and walked away with the weapon.
The victim lost a lot of blood and the emergency services had to stabilise him before transferring him to the hospital.
Although sources initially suggested that the young man worked at the fairground rides, others have confirmed that he and his family work in the construction industry.
