Key Points

  • Victim reported rape at 5am Monday after hostel assault in Arinsal.

Police in La Massana are searching for a man suspected of raping a woman in her twenties at a hostel in Arinsal during the early hours of Monday morning.

The victim arrived at the hospital around 5am, where she reported the assault to staff. Medical examinations confirmed the attack had occurred, leading authorities to launch established protocols, including comprehensive support for the woman across all aspects of her life.

Investigators have been collecting information from her account and other evidence throughout the afternoon, focusing efforts on identifying and locating the suspect—a non-resident who police believe may still be staying at an accommodation in Andorra. The two had no prior connection and appear to have met during a night out linked to the winter ski season.

The inquiry remains active, with the suspect yet to be identified. Officers are maintaining discretion to protect the victim and preserve the element of surprise in their fieldwork. No physical description or additional details about the circumstances have been released.
