• Events.A woman commits suicide after killing her five-year-old son in a hostel in the center of Madrid

The five-year-old boy who was killed by his mother in a Madrid hostel had traces of sedatives in his stomach, according to police sources. The little boy therefore died of an alleged overdose of tranquilizers that his mother administered on Sunday morning. In fact, on the nightstand in the room they found crushed pills and two glasses with traces of anxiolytics that the woman probably took for her depression.

The mother, Tamara DR, 35, also took several pills, although the ultimate cause of her death was mechanical suffocation from hanging. In addition, it has been determined that the little one died seven hours before her and that both perished on Sunday, July 5 , as determined by forensic evidence. The boy died in the morning and the woman in the mid-afternoon of the holiday. However, the samples collected in the child's stomach have been sent to the National Institute of Toxicology to analyze the exact content of the medicine and the amount ingested that caused his death.

In the room where the mother ended the life of her son, several handwritten pages were found where the woman explained that her five-year-old son was being taken from her. The parricide suffered mental problems and in the letter it detailed: "They take it from me, they take it from me", along with the drawing of several hearts.

The Ministry of Social Services has confirmed that less than two weeks ago the custody of the child had been withdrawn from his mother as a final result of a file that had been initiated long ago. The protocol in these cases indicates that the mother has a period of a few days to deliver the child and that this does not involve trauma for the minor. "We were in that process, since the minor had an assigned place," the same sources reiterated.

Tamara and her son arrived at the hostel last Saturday evening. The woman paid three days in advance and acted "completely normal" at her entrance, where they were not known from previous stays. On Sunday morning the owner of the establishment was surprised because he did not hear any movement or noise in the room that had the key locked and turned on from the inside. The same Sunday the owner called the Police to tell them what was happening. Agents told him to wait until Monday and that if everything continued the same, he would call again. On Monday morning, she again notified the agents when she saw that nothing changed. When the police arrived, they opened the room and found the lifeless bodies of the woman and her son. The woman was hanged and the boy was lying on the bed with a gauze over his face that covered his eyes. Investigators, from Group V of Homicides of the National Police, found in the room several plastic blister packs to organize the medicines and the crushed pills on the bedside table.
