The 48-year-old father who turned himself in at the barracks in the Valencian town of Sueca on Saturday, January 24th and admitted to killing a 13-year-old kid who was playing with his son at home will appear in court tomorrow, Tuesday.
On Monday, sources from the Guardia Civil said that the suspect would not be taken before a judge today because they are waiting for the autopsy to be done on the victim. This will likely happen throughout the day today.
When asked if the person who was arrested might not have been the one who did it and was instead covering for his son, who was a friend of the victim and was with them at the house, the same sources said that all possibilities are still on the table.
On Monday, Julián Sáez, the mayor of the town, said that he is “very affected” and that he would like not say anything “out of respect for the investigations and the family.”
The Provincial Command has said that the body of the dead child was recovered at the address given by the suspected killer, with bruises and stab wounds.
At 6:30 p.m., the person who confessed to these crimes showed up at the barracks and was arrested for crimes being looked into by the Guardia Civil’s Homicide group.
The Sueca City Council declared two days of formal mourning, during which the council’s flags flew at half-mast. They also sent their sympathies and support to the victim’s family and friends.
The Ministry of Education of the Valencian Government has put the emotional support protocol into action after this terrible tragedy in Sueca.
Specifically, the educational inspection service has quickly called in the Specialised Coexistence Guidance Unit (UEO) to help the school where the victim studied figure out how to deal with the community in a time of great suffering.
The Ministry of Education says that counsellors from this unit will go to the school to help with the intervention in the different groups and create “emotional ventilation” spaces to help the students, teachers, and other members of the school community who need it.
Families at the centre will also get advice on how to help their kids through this tough period.
The same sources said that there will also be a farewell spot at the centre where students and other members of the educational community can leave comments, flowers, or candles.
