Tamara, 36, ended this past weekend with the life of her five-year-old son in a hostel in Madrid. Then she wrote a letter explaining the motives for the crime. They take it from me, they take it from me, she pointed out in her brief writing where she drew several hearts. Then he hanged himself by wrapping a sheet around his neck. The Community of Madrid has confirmed that custody of the child was withdrawn at the end of June . The deceased woman allegedly suffered from mental problems.

The bodies of Tamara and her son were found this Monday morning in the Levante Hostel on Postigo de San Martín street in the central district of Madrid, next to the Plaza de Callao. The boy was found with a gauze on his nose and it is suspected that his mother could have given him anxiolytics, although the minor also has marks on his neck from being suffocated. The mother and child had been staying in the hostel for only two days.

The Ministry of Social Services explained that less than two weeks ago the custody of the child had been withdrawn from his mother after a long process and that the little boy already had a place assigned for his guardianship in a center in the Community of Madrid . In fact, the owner of the establishment notified the mother of the deceased woman of what had happened and she indicated that the tragedy was expected.

From the Ministry of Social Services of the Community of Madrid, it has been explained that the decision to withdraw the son at the end of June was communicated to him and that there was a process started long ago by the technicians. "They are those who recommend that the Community of Madrid should assume guardianship," they indicated. The protocol in these cases indicates that the mother has several days to deliver the child and that this does not involve trauma for the minor. "We were in that delicate process, since the minor already had a place assigned in a regional center," the same sources reiterated.

The owner of the hostel and his wife have confirmed that the woman and her son arrived at the establishment on the afternoon of last Saturday, July 4, and that they acted with "total normality" when they entered the establishment, where they were not known from previous stays. "The boy told his mother that he was hungry and the woman replied that they were now going down to dinner," explained the owner of the hostel. They were no longer seen alive. On Sunday they began to be surprised to see that they had not left the room. The same day in the afternoon the owner called the police to tell them that the mother and the child had given no signs of life since Saturday. Agents told him to wait until Monday and that if everything continued the same, he would call again. On Monday morning the owner of the hostel contacted the police again. Upon arrival, the officers opened the room and found the lifeless bodies of the woman and her son.

According to the first investigations, the woman could have suffocated her own son on Saturday night or Sunday morning and then killed herself, as the disposition of the bodies and objects found at the crime scene would indicate . The woman had symptoms of hanging, according to the first investigations, and there were anti-anxiety tablets on one of the bedside tables, sources at the investigation told Efe.
