The family of the woman allegedly poisoned by her niece and the actor Luis Lorenzo: "Isabel was afraid of them"

The lawyer

Francisco Pérez

will lead the joint defense of the two defendants, who would be surprised with the result of the second autopsy that was performed on the deceased when the presence of

high levels of heavy metals

was detected .

In statements to Telecinco, the lawyer has defended that his clients

have nothing to hide

and has stressed that they consider themselves innocent, without giving an explanation for the presence of those metals in the body of the actor's aunt-in-law.

"We do not know what levels there are of these metals, if it is the ultimate cause of death and if these metals are compatible with regular consumption.

There could have been previous contamination

. We have to question things and if the chain of custody was carried out in accordance with the law ", has underlined.

This Sunday, the lawyer specified in another intervention in Telecinco that behind the contamination could be the

habitual consumption of fish with high doses of mercury

.

As for the possible

economic motive for

the alleged homicide, he clarified this morning that there is a will from May 2021 in which

the direct relatives of the actor's partner were already excluded

and they made it to this universal heiress.

According to the version of the accused,

Arancha P.

's aunt wanted to come to live in Madrid and settled with the couple in Rivas, since they were in charge of taking her to specialists after being diagnosed with dementia.

In fact, she will accredit her visit to different medical centers.
