  • Galicia: A man murders his ex-wife, his former mother-in-law and his former sister-in-law in the town of Valga in Pontevedra

José Luis Abet Lafuente , the murderer of Valga (Pontevedra) who on Monday shot dead his ex-wife, Sandra Boquete Jamardo , 39, his former mother-in-law and his former sister-in-law in front of their two children, it is believed he sent a disturbing message to his ex-partner through Facebook before the crime in which he told him, among many other things, to stop "going as a victim he was already tired" .

According to the Diario de Pontevedra, the murderer confessed used a Facebook profile with the name of a son from a previous relationship to write on the wall of the social network of Sandra not only to stop "going victim" but not " it will stain his name more. "

"Deixa to go of victim that xa tired" - "Stop going of victim that you are already tired" - or "a min non stains me more or not" - "I do not stain the name" - are some of the phrases that José Luis Abet Lafuente wrote in the same message on the wall of his ex-wife.

In the brief, in addition, the murderer reproaches the victim for a series of discrepancies in relation to a house in Valga: "But what are you sorry, you put me in a moito carallo loan ", "a house in the name of your parents and how I refused to be put in the cadastre , you go and ask me for a divorce and on top of that you don't let me see the children . "

Hours after these messages, José Luis Abet Lafuente moved to the house of Carracido , in the parish of Cordeiro (Valga), in which the couple had lived together until their separation two years ago - although the divorce did not take place until January - and where Sandra lived with their children, she used a short weapon, later found by investigators, and shot Sandra Boquete, who was inside her car with the children, ages 4 and 7 , who witnessed everything, since Sandra was about to take them to school .

After ending the life of his former partner, the murderer shot at his former sister-in-law, Alba BJ , 27, who was right next to the vehicle with a call to 112 to alert the authorities and, subsequently, a few meters from there he killed his former mother-in-law, María Elena JF , 57, who had just arrived.

Neither of the last two resided in this home but it was common for both of them to move there to help Sandra with the children since the separation from marriage.

Abet Lafuente, who has another eldest son from a previous relationship, escaped after committing the triple murder and was arrested shortly after in the vicinity of his mother's house, in the municipality of Ames, where he lived from his divorce. It was he himself who phoned the Civil Guard from the maternal home to surrender .

Although the relationship was being stormy in recent months, there was no prior complaint of gender-based violence nor was there a protection order for the victim , who had only asked his family for help, reports Natalia Puga.

In recent times it was common for José Luis to annoy his ex-wife , so when she saw him arrive, he told his family and his mother and sister moved to the place. When they arrived, he had already shot with a gun for which his ex-wife lacked a license while sitting in the vehicle. Then it was their turn, first to their former sister-in-law and then to her former mother-in-law.

The new triple murder and the memory of the recent feminicide of only half a year ago left Valga's neighbors totally shocked. The mayor himself, José María Bello Maneiro, moved on Monday the deep emotion of all the neighbors already in the morning at the scene of the crime and in the afternoon again after summoning an extraordinary plenary session in which three days of official mourning were declared. Next, a busy demonstration showed the consternation of the entire population and political parties of the town .

Valga's triple crime has caused consternation throughout Galicia, where, since 2003, 60 women have lost their lives victims of sexist violence, 25 of them in the province of Pontevedra. So far this year, there are 41 fatalities, three in the same province and two in the same municipality.
