The four dogs that Miriam Vallejo took for a walk that night did not defend her from the person who attacked her and did not even bark. If they had done so, the two young men who found their body in Meco (Madrid) only a few minutes after it was stabbed would have listened to them. The hypothesis that the author of the murder of the 25-year-old girl, found dead on January 16, had to have been an acquaintance, made sense Wednesday when the Civil Guard arrested Sergio SM , 29, as the alleged perpetrator of the crime. . This is the then boyfriend of his best friend, Celia , and also his roommate, since the three of them lived together for a few months in a chalet in Villanueva de la Torre (Guadalajara).

Sergio was arrested just four kilometers from there, in Azuqueca de Henares , where his parents reside and with whom he moved after the murder of Miriam and the break with Celia, intimate friend of the deceased.

Born in February 1990, the detainee is an expert fisherman as witnessed by the multiple photographs in which he poses with the captures in his social networks. In his profile Infojobs is presented as a maintenance mechanic in a company dedicated to recycling batteries.

Not only the attitude of the dogs directed the investigation to someone close, also the autopsy, for the cruelty and anger that the murderer showed when he stabbed the girl 24 stabs. He did it with such virulence that the tip of the weapon remained in the body. Miriam, who worked as head of the administration of a computer component distribution company and was also a Civil Protection volunteer, defended himself, which allowed him to extract epithelial remains from the aggressor.

Sergio's alibi - one of the first people to be questioned - was apparently solid. He was playing the game console between 8.40 pm and 8.50 pm, when the murder occurred, he told agents. In fact, his profile was online in that time slot, but, as Espejo Público announced yesterday, in those 10 minutes he did not perform any activity with the video console. He had had time, therefore, to get out of the chalet, reach the young woman when he was walking along a path outside Villanueva de la Torre, already at the end of Meco, and return to continue the game.

The arrest has occurred after seven months of arduous investigations, which have included the tracking of the people Miriam contacted through apps to link as Tinder. The Civil Guard interviewed dozens of men who were asked for a DNA sample. None coincided with the aggressor.

It was speculated that the author was a woman moved by jealousy and even put the spotlight on her friend Celia, who stepped out of the insinuations: «With your lies you have managed to get the hell I'm going through losing a half of me is even worse, "he said on Facebook, where he was also incredulous that the author was someone close to his friend:" I who know her as the palm of my hand I still think that [the murderer] did not know her, because Miri could not generate in anyone who knew her hatred ».

Miriam's family, who remain silent after the arrest, has finally seen the petition he launched last July 16 at a rally in Alovera (Guadalajara), where his parents live. "After six months of his murder, we transfer our desire to receive news about the clarification of the facts and to identify the guilty parties as quickly as possible to alleviate the pain of their loss and that justice can be imparted in their name and in everyone's, ”said one of his aunts. «It may sound excessive to say that she was always an exemplary girl, but at her young age she left us a baggage of service to others, disinterestedly, in her Civil Protection volunteering or an admirable example for the care and defense of animals as strokes that describe a generous, kind and helpful personality ».
