Tenerife The Civil Guard only worked with the hypothesis that Tomás Gimeno would end the lives of Anna and Olivia
Vicarious violence The body of Olivia, the older of the two missing girls with her father in Tenerife, is found in the sea
The Civil Guard always suspected the worst outcome in the case of the girls disappeared in
Tenerife
at the hands of their father.
Tomás Gimeno's
movements on
the day of his disappearance presaged the worst. It is
vicarious violence
, the worst of gender violence, when a father kills or harms his children to cause the greatest possible pain in his ex-partner.
The discovery this Thursday of the body of
Olivia
, the older of the two girls, has once again put the scourge of vicarious violence on the table.
The terrible crime of
Tomás Gimeno
, who has not yet been found, like Anna, has been the last of a too long list.
Parents who commit the worst crime, the murder of their own children.
Since 2013,
38 minors
have been murdered by their fathers or the partners or ex-partners of their mothers
.
That year, minors entered the official statistics of crimes of
gender violence
.
A statistic that started in 2003 with the count of murdered women, which now number 1,086.
The case of José Bretón
Before the minors murdered by their parents entered the official statistics of crimes of gender violence, it was the case of
José Bretón
who brought vicarious violence to the fore.
José Bretón
murdered his two children,
Ruth and José
, put on the table a violence that until now had not been described. After an investigation full of errors, Breton could not continue deceiving more, he had killed his children.
José Bretón
was sentenced to 40 years if he never acknowledged that he had killed his children to kill his mother, separated from him after years of abuse.
It was their case and the insistence and perseverance of
Ruth
, the mother of the two children, which led to the recognition in 2015 of the minors as victims of gender violence and the mothers who were sought to harm with death of their children as well.
The crime of Manzanares
Two years later, in 2013, the same year that minors were included in the official statistics, another man shot and killed his two sons,
ages 5 and 13
, and then committed suicide in
Ciudad Real.
The crime occurred after the mother of the two children informed him that she wanted to separate.
With a weapons license,
Miguel Ángel Carrero Alarcón
, 45, killed his two and his mother-in-law with a hunting rifle, and later took his own life.
When Carrero went to the family home to commit the crime, the children's mother was not at home.
He was saved, but he buried her alive.
He jumped out the window with his baby
It was the year 2017,
Vladimir V.
, with a history of mistreatment, and his then wife had a strong argument in the room of
the La Paz Hospital
where they were.
"I'm going to give you where it hurts the most
,
"
he told the mother of the one-year-old baby.
Then he took the baby, opened the window of the room and threw himself into the void with the baby in his arms.
The girl, who had been born prematurely, was admitted to the center's Pediatric Service due to chronic heart disease, and had just been discharged from the hospital.
The parents had come to the hospital to visit her when the argument broke out.
Vladimir V.
and the little girl died on the spot.
The crime of Castellón
The daughters of
Itziar Prats
, 2 and 6 years old, were murdered by their father in
Castellón
on September 25, 2018. There was a month left for the hearing of the divorce trial.
Itziar
had denounced her abuser and had requested a restraining order, but the Prosecutor's Office did not consider the precautionary measures necessary.
The girls spent the night in the parental home, which had been the family home until the separation, within the period of coexistence with the minors that corresponded to
Ricardo
.
That day
Ricardo CG
, 48, stabbed
Nerea
and
Martina
at dawn
.
He killed them and then jumped off the top floor of his block of flats.
On the ground of his street, already dead, a neighbor found him.
When the Emergency Services managed to access the house, nothing could be done for
Nerea
and
Martina
.
The parricide, David SO, 'El Cartagenero'
"He killed me: he killed my son and he killed me too. He has left me dead while alive," Laura Hernández told the
Murcia
Opinion
days after her father murdered little
Cristian
in July 2019 in the town of Beniel.
David SO
, known as 'El Cartagenero' had to return Cristian to his mother.
He never did.
The mother denounced that the father had not given her the child.
When the police arrived at David's house they could do nothing:
the man had murdered his son and then hanged himself
.
David 'El Cartagenero' had a conviction for a crime of coercion of his former partner and had a restraining order that did not allow him to approach her.
An order that went bankrupt in June of that year
, but never got into prison.
A month later he took his son, since there was nothing more than a restraining order for the mother, and killed him.
