• Arrest The boyfriend of Nerea Añel, the young woman from Ourense, was arrested violently in 2020

  • Newspaper Library They find the body of a woman who could be that of Nerea Añel, who has disappeared in Orense since January

Julio GS

, 31 years old and the last partner of the young

Nerea Añel

, is the only suspect in her violent death, in which the

Ourense

gender violence judge

attributes "active participation" to him. The investigations carried out place him as the last person to see the girl, whom her family saw for the last time on Three Kings Day 2020, although death would be at least ten days later.

The young man has been a suspect for several months, but until this week the suspicions that hovered over him were not conclusively confirmed.

As EL MUNDO anticipated, that day a reconstruction of the last moments of the young woman's life was carried out, who when she disappeared was 26 years old, and, after that diligence, her boyfriend was directed from the prison where he is serving a sentence for another cause to the

Provincial Police Station of Ourense

.

The next day, Tuesday the 15th, the judge summoned him to take a statement in court, but he availed himself of his right not to testify.

Despite this, the magistrate considered that there are indications that he had an active participation in the events and informed him that he is being investigated for homicide.

Although initially it was not clarified if it was a malicious or reckless homicide, judicial sources indicate that in the order issued after its summons it does not make any mention of possible imprudence, so that it is confirmed that it is a murder with intent.

That car insists that the forensic analysis reveals the "violent death" of Nerea Añel, which occurred "by precipitation on the bed of

the Barbadás river

."

As EL MUNDO has learned, the hypothesis is that the girl died by breaking her neck after her partner pushed her into the river.

The order issued by the judge of

Instruction number 3

of Ourense centers the death of the young woman "in time in a contemporary way with the time in which Nerea and her then boyfriend were seen together for the last time, in the last fortnight of January 2020. Both had a relationship and moved in environments related to the world of drugs, since they were both habitual users of narcotic substances.

The last time they were seen together was at a

Barbadás

motel

where they had rented a room.

According to sources familiar with the case, on Monday the reconstruction of the events took place in that motel, located in an area very close to the place where the body appeared.

Both left the establishment together and a witness said that shortly after the boy returned alone and visibly nervous and left the motel.

In prison sentenced for another cause

Julio GS, who has a long criminal record, is under investigation for a homicide, but his procedural status for this cause is provisional release.

The judge agreed to it in this way, taking into account that he is currently in prison with a firm conviction for another cause, so that he understands that there is no risk of flight, "nor danger for the concealment, alteration or destruction of the sources of relevant evidence ".

The judge also agrees to provisional imprisonment because she sees "no danger that the accused may act against the victim's legal rights."

In short, he does not see "the risk that the accused may escape the action of the Administration of Justice."

The young woman from Ourense disappeared in early 2020 and her body was found months later, in September, in an abandoned village in the town of Barbadás.

Forensic tests confirmed that he was the victim of a violent death and from then until this Monday, investigators from the

Specialized

and Violent

Crime Unit

(UDEV) and the

Family and Woman Unit

(UFAM) of the

Ourense Police Station

investigated the events with total stealth.

The

Court of Instruction number 2

of Ourense first and

number 3

in recent months kept the case under summary secret.
