The inquiry into the death of a four-year-old boy whose body was found in a bunker on a beach in Garrucha, Almeria province, has uncovered a suspected instance of ongoing physical and sexual abuse by the mother’s partner, who is not the child’s real father. The mother and her partner have both been taken into custody.
The Guardia Civil said that the child’s mother’s boyfriend may have hurt him before he died on December 3th. The mother may have even known about this ongoing torture.
The report says that the three of them lived in a house in Mojácar. The mother would sometimes leave the youngster with her partner, who “regularly mistreated and beat the minor with (the mother’s) knowledge, on one occasion breaking a bone in his arm.”
Around 11 a.m. on December 3rd, the mother is said to have left for work, leaving her child in the care of her boyfriend again. The verdict says that the man “hit him in the stomach and other parts of the body over and over again.” He also allegedly raped the child.
Because of this, the youngster got “intestinal injuries that later killed him.” Around noon, the suspect called the mother and told her that the youngster “wasn’t feeling well.” She returned back home, but the report says that she “might have been present during part of the physical assault.”
The youngster died at 3:30 p.m. After that, his mother and her partner transported the body to “an old bunker” on the beach and left it there. The forensic report says that the person died from “hypovolemic shock, with liver rupture and abdominal polytrauma.”
The judge has ordered that the mother and her partner be held without bail until their trial for murder and persistent abuse.
On Tuesday, December 9th, the child’s maternal grandfather came to court as a private prosecutor and sought the court to start a voluntary jurisdiction process so he could cremate the child’s body. He couldn’t get the mother’s permission because she has been in jail without bail since Saturday. The court has granted the request.
