The Ertzaintza is looking for a twenty-year-old as

the alleged murderer of four men

in

Bilbao

.

The researchers work with the hypothesis of the

serial killer

due to the common elements of the alleged crimes: through the application of contacts for homosexuals

Grindr

the victims contacted who would be their executioner, they invited him to their homes, they

were drugged to death and their current accounts ended up being robbed

.

The clue emerged last December, following the

complaint of a man who managed to escape from an attempted strangulation

and whose aggressor forgot, after the struggle, a backpack with documentation and liquid ecstasy.

These events allowed the Ertzaintza to open a line of investigation to clarify the death of several homosexual men whose deaths had been attributed to natural causes throughout 2021.

The Basque police are searching, still without results, for the alleged culprit of at least one assault, four murders and four other deaths that could also be linked by the profile of the deceased.

The

Central Criminal Police Section

of the Basque Police, together with members of the

Bilbao Police Station

, are working on all the investigations to try to find an individual who would already be identified but whose whereabouts are unknown.

As reported in

El Correo

, the suspect is a

young man between 20 and 30 years of age

and who has provided more information about him was the only victim who, so far, has confessed to the Police that he was the victim of his attack.

The events took place in December 2021, when the appointment with his aggressor took place through Grindr, whom he already knew from previous encounters.

The alleged criminal tried to supply him with liquid ecstasy, probably GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate), but was unsuccessful, which led to an attempted strangulation that led to a fight that ended with the criminal fleeing the house without proof of identity. the.

Aware of having abandoned his belongings, the young man came to apologize to his victim to try to erase the clues that would facilitate his identification.

The Ertzaintza began the investigation that has now been revealed in the second half of December with the complaint filed after this attack and since then has been looking for the murderer of Grindr.

A possible serial killer because the police investigations established a connection between the denounced event and the 'natural' deaths of at least four other people from Bilbao.

All of them died in their homes and their death did not generate any type of investigation, although the Ertzaintza learned later when questioning their relatives that their current accounts had been emptied after death.

The Basque Police, which has requested the collaboration of the

State Security Forces in

case there were any similar investigations open in other parts of

Spain

, has shielded the information coordinated by an investigating court in Bilbao.

In addition, he is awaiting the results of the laboratories that analyze the remains of the four deceased who are considered most likely to have been victims of this alleged murderer.
