The 15-year-old, who was arrested Friday night accused of shooting his parents and a ten-year-old brother to death in cottonnear Elche, is available to the Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office in Alicante, southwestern Spain.
This was reported by the media this Sunday and they announced that the prosecutor could order the admission of the child in a juvenile center as a precautionary measure.
The young man allegedly committed the crimes attributed to him last Tuesday inside the country house where he lived with his family, then remained locked up there for three days, next to the corpses, before confessing the facts.
According to media reconstructions, he had told his colleagues that he had to remain isolated because he was infected with Covid-19.
According to statements from people living near the scene of the crime, a sparsely populated rural area of Spain, on the day of the murders no one realized that shots had been fired.
The preliminary hypothesis of the investigators is that the origin of the triple crime would be linked to a strong argument between the child and his mother about his poor school performance.
Some acquaintances described the suspect as a “shy and rebellious” teenager, the newspaper El País wrote. But, at the same time, very talkative when he entered into a climate of trust.
In addition, they described him as very active on social networks, a place where he managed to relate better than in person, and that he was addicted to video games, one of the reasons why the argument with his family began.
According to testimonies from close friends, his mother was reluctant to play video games and that was a reason for constant fights in the house, because the minor was distracted by it and took hours away from his study.
According to the testimony of the group of companions, the adolescent was a very good student. However, he had lowered his academic performance and when they asked him why he answered that he was “lazy” to study.
Precisely, the bad grades were the trigger for the massacre, after his 51-year-old father, who worked in a traffic light maintenance company, decided together with his mother remove wifi.
It was an aunt of the detainee, his mother’s sister, who went to the home last Friday because she had no news of her relatives. “I killed dad, mom and my brother with the shotgun,” was his clear confession, in which he also clarified the details of his reasons: “I argued about the notes.”
The father was fond of hunting, which provided the weapon to his son for the slaughter.
According to the ABC newspaper, one of the recommended readings at the institute where the teenager was studying was the novel “The Age of Wrath”, by the Spanish writer Nando López, even adapted for television, in which a teenager kills his father and seriously injures his brother.
Curiously, a fact similar to the one captured by this student. Now, the researchers will try to clarify if this data is relevant or responds to a macabre coincidence.
