The first victim of the alleged murderer of gays in

Bilbao,

was found dead on the sofa in the living room of his house - a third floor located in the old town of Bilbao - on Monday, October 18, 2021.

JM A

had not come that morning The institution where he worked as a music teacher had not even called to justify his absence, so his colleagues from the educational center alerted the family of his disappearance.

A relative went to look for him at his home and found him on the sofa, dressed, without any signs around him that indicated a violent death.

As if he had suffered a heart attack or a sudden stroke when he was about to leave the house to go to his work.

Nor did the Ertzaintza agents who attended the notice of the discovery of a body detect anything out of the ordinary in the visual inspection of the house.

Although it seemed a natural death, as is usually done when a body is found and there are no witnesses to the death, an autopsy was carried out.

In the post-mortem examination no signs of homicidal death were found and the report was closed with the conclusion that it was a sudden death.

The suspected serial killer.EM

JMA had been living in

Bilbao

for years , but he was originally from a town of 8,000 inhabitants on the Biscayan coast, where his family resides.

In his home town, the news of his goodbye caused a huge impact due to the unexpected and because he did not seem like a candidate to suffer a stroke, a version of the death that circulated among his relatives.

JMA was only 43 years old and took great care of himself.

"He was a healthy boy, an athlete. It seemed very strange to us that he suffered a stroke, but things like these happen in life," they say in his town.

Among the announcements that were published to fire him, the most emotional was that of his gang.

His friends dedicated a poetic text to him in Basque in which they highlighted his good heart and his elegance when he sat in front of the grand piano.

Four days after his death, on October 22, 2021, after the autopsy was completed, his funeral was held in his town.

This would have been the final chapter of JMA's biography if it hadn't been for the shock his only brother got when checking his bank accounts the day after the funeral.

Someone had extracted significant quantities of them when he was already dead.

The brother went to the

Ertzaintza

to denounce the abductions, thus opening an investigation that has led to the unmasking of who is allegedly the biggest known murderer or homicide of gays in Spain.

forensic analysis

Although JMA was cremated, tissue samples from the corpse are kept whenever an autopsy is performed in case the forensic examination needs to be repeated.

After the brother's complaint, a more exhaustive analysis of the samples was requested, in which traces of GHB, better known as liquid ecstasy, were detected.

According to the scientific literature, it is one of the so-called submission drugs, used by criminals to override the will of the victims and obtain credit card or bank account keys from them, for example.

This revelation was followed by the discovery that JMA had met a person through a gay dating

app

: a 26-year-old Colombian boy.

This opened the door to review other deaths of middle-aged men who, like JMA, had died suddenly, all in the city of Bilbao, after agreeing to meet through two

apps

for homosexual contacts: Grindr or Wapo.

According to

El Correo

, the media that has uncovered the case,

Nelson David M. B

is related to the death of at least four men and four more cases could be attributed to him.

The alleged murderer appeared this Wednesday afternoon at a Bilbao police station after his photo was spread over the internet.

He denies the facts.
