He shot his parents and 10-year-old brother to deathpassing three days at home next to the corpses. The chilling tragedy took place in Elche, in southeastern Spain, not far from Alicante, the celebrated town on the Costa Blanca. A boy of 15 years exterminated the entire family, hiding the bodies for 36 hours before confess everything to the police. The murderous rampage would have been unleashed by a violent one discussion with the motherwho had decided to punish the boy cutting the cables of the wifi network. The family quarrels had been going on for some time because of the poor academic performance of the 15-year-old, accused by his parents of not participating enough in housework.
The investigations of the National Police are still ongoing but, according to what leaked in the Spanish media, the discovery of the crime started from the chance meeting of the boy – absent from school for three days – with a neighbor. The woman, who hadn’t seen the 15-year-old’s parents for a few days, asked him for news. And the teenager would have replied without betraying the slightest emotion: “Mum and dad? I killed them a few days ago“.
The neighbor would then have alerted a relative of the boy who immediately went to the house in the suburb of Algoda discovering the horror. The agents of the Local Police and the National Police arrived, accompanied by a team of psychologists. The minor, subsequently taken to the Elche police station, confessed to the crimes and was detained.
The agents stressed his “uncommon coldness” and the “total absence of remorse“during the story of the massacre. A local newspaper, on the basis of indiscretions collected, hypothesized the dynamics of the absurd family massacre. The boy would have shot first his mother and brother, then his father, outside the home at the time of the first two murders. . The man would have been killed with two blows to the chest. The second because – said the 15-year-old – “he kept asking why and didn’t want to shut up“.
According to the procedure established by Spanish law, the adolescent will now have to report to the Prosecutor’s Office for minors within 24 hours to make a further confession.
The corpses of family members were instead transferred to the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Alicante, where an autopsy will be performed in the next few days.
