• Aranjuez. "Sin is paid with death", the premonitory message on Facebook of the double murderer
  • Events: The second victim of the shooting of Aranjuez, also sister-in-law of the murderer, dies

The court investigating the double homicide and attempted murder of three women by Juan Mendoza , alias Juanín , 38, in Aranjuez , has ordered the investigation closed. Although the authorship of the shots that killed his two former sisters-in-law and wounded his former mother-in-law is clear from the outset, the court has decided not to continue with the investigations in search of possible accomplices and send the matter to trial with a single defendant .

Therefore, the families of the two deceased sisters and their injured mother, Juanín's former political family, have resorted to the instruction. According to the appeal filed in mid-December, there are too many points still unclear in this murky event that occurred during the last summer.

One of them is that it is still unknown who gave Juanín the gun with which he killed his former sisters-in-law and cursed his former mother-in-law. It was a shotgun with cartridges with which he shot practically at close range to the two dead and wounded the third victim in the leg.

Juanín had 33 cartridges in his house with which he could have carried out a major massacre. And, although in his statement he argued that he had no intention of killing the women, but his brother-in-law, because he had shot him before, the evidence suggests that the murderer confessed had planned the event of that June 9.

However, it has not been investigated whether that allegedly stolen shotgun was sold by someone or provided by a relative who in turn had bought it. The appeal points to a brother of the respondent and his father as those who provided him with the weapon.

"Enough signs"

And that leads to another point without clarifying, as one of the lawyers of the private prosecution explains, the lawyer Juan Manuel Medina : "We believe that there are enough indications to continue investigating whether there were people who knew the intentions of the author of the shooting or if they helped him. That is why we have appealed the resolution, complete justice would not be done if this part of the case is left un investigated. "

Because whoever gave Juanín the shotgun could have known his intentions and be a cover-up. Or a necessary cooperator. But it is not only that clue that points to the possibility of accomplices: hours before he committed the murders, he received a whatsapp from one Alejandro who said: "Are you going to do the killing today or what?", And also another where he said: "Hey I can not go down boy, I'm here in my house, I'll go down when you kill everyone, as you say you're going to kill ... You eat the shit."

Juan Mendoza, the accused of crime M.

According to the accusations, Alejandro could not be other than a cousin of Juanín , imprisoned since he went to court. However, although Medina has requested that a statement be taken, the judge has dismissed it.

Nor did he want to take a statement from a son of the murderer, a minor, who witnessed because he was with him at home at the time of the shooting.

The march of the family

Another argument of the accusations to look for possible complicities is the fact that part of Juanín's family left the house a day earlier, as if they knew something was going to happen.

Finally, the defenses do not understand how the murderer could have been in search and capture for years and remain free despite repeated complaints from neighbors, who occasionally saw him shooting into the air or arming and calling the police. The Provincial Court of Madrid was looking for him when he committed the double crime because he was convicted of drug trafficking and illegal possession of weapons.

Juan Mendoza Jiménez testified before the judge that he acted in self-defense, when his other ex-brother-in-law shot him, and that he had no intention of killing either Lissette , 35, or his sister Montse , 23. He was blamed for all to the family of his wife, Cele , from which he had separated and said he only pulled the trigger twice against his brother-in-law with no intention of killing anyone else.

Under the first inquiries, Juanín had recently separated from his wife, Celestina, with whom he had five children.

The relatives maintain that the weekend of the tragedy had learned that Cele was dating another man and was enraged and resentful. In addition, he blamed his political family for their separation and threatened her with death.

The facts

Several neighbors report that on Sunday afternoon he argued with his former sisters-in-law and that even one of them called him "cuckold." That tormented Juanin , who went up to his house, located on the first floor of Victoria Kamhi Street , according to police reconstruction. The house is in front of his former mother-in-law's house. When the women went outside after visiting their mother, the man threatened them. After a cross of words, he pulled the trigger of a shotgun against the neck and chest of Lissete, shot his other former sister-in-law and his former mother-in-law in the right leg.

Juanín was entrenched in the house, from which he shot despite the arrival of ambulances and police. Summa's doctors couldn't do anything to save Lissette's life. The former mother-in-law was evacuated to the Hospital October 12 and her daughter Montserrat was transferred to the Tagus Hospital by several relatives, where she died three days later.

In his statement to the magistrate, Juanín added that he was not to blame and that it was all his wife's business. "They provoked me, they hurt me a lot, I am not to blame for anything, they told me that I was a cuckold and that I died," he said, justifying an outburst for jealousy. "I just wanted my wife to come back with me to be with my children together. I had no right to want to kill anyone," he said.

The alleged murderer says that he was first shot by his former brother-in-law Jesus and then he responded as he feared for his life when he was cornered. "I just wanted to shoot him. If I fired twelve cartridges, I take care of everyone there was, I don't leave any, my honor," he said in his statement.

Couple problems

After pulling the trigger, Juanín called 091 saying he had hit two shots and wanted to kill the gypsies. During the communication he was very nervous and asked that the Police come as he feared for his life.

Juanín asked the agents the presence of a policeman named Carlos , but finally they managed to convince him to throw the gun before proceeding to his arrest inside the home.

These types of cases are not considered as sexist violence in the official statistics since there were no complaints between the couple although the neighbors point out that the relationship between Juanín and Cele was very complicated. Moreover, they even point out that on some occasion they had already had to call the Police as a result of a fight between them.
