• The arrest: a case that shocked public opinion

The

Valencia Prosecutor's Office

has signed a very severe qualification, in line with the facts that it describes, against

Gabriel and María

, the parents accused of killing their two young children, aged 3 years and six months, in a ritual on the morning of 13 March 2019 at his country house in

Godella

.

Of course, the Public Ministry distinguishes the circumstances of both parents.

While for the father he requests

50 years

in prison for two crimes of murder (the legal limit of compliance is 40), for his mother he asks for

25 years of psychiatric internment

when she understands that she suffered a complete defense of psychic anomaly certified by the forensics who have it. attended during this time.

In his provisional brief of the events to which EL MUNDO has had access, the prosecutor indicates that the two acted, he says, "by mutual agreement, doing and letting each other do" although he slides that it was the man who pushed his partner , with a serious psychiatric disorder, to participate in the murders.

The crimes of the children, who were beaten to death, were committed at night and after burying them the woman became disoriented.

The following day, a large Civil Guard device began to search for the minors.

At first, the hypothesis was that they had disappeared, but little by little the idea that they had been assassinated was gaining momentum.

That afternoon, the agents found María half-naked, bloody and totally disoriented inside a plastic drum, and it was she who led them to the corpses of the children.

The father tried to dissociate himself from the crimes at all times.

Apparently, the couple sympathized with a sect and had the full belief that they were going to kill them.

They also believed in life after death and that, after the ritual of prussification with which they killed their children, the children would revive.

As stated by the Public Ministry in its letter, the children died after receiving, he points out, "a multitude of violent blows, mainly in the area of ​​the head, either with a blunt object or with strong blows against the ground."

María and Gabriel lived with their children in a squatted country house in totally unsanitary conditions.

The woman's mother, along with other friends, provided them with food and, shortly before the disappearance of the minors, she received a message from her daughter advising her that she was going to "meet with the creator", which led her to file a complaint which, along with a call from a neighbor, prompted the investigation.

María belonged to various anti-establishment movements and had been arrested for leading several altercations.
