• Events Lorenzo's wife upon learning that her aunt was suffering from a stroke: "It's bad for me, I have to do homework with the child"

  • Events Arancha, actor Luis Lorenzo's partner, in the dungeons: "If I knew this, I would have cremated my aunt"

Arancha Palomino, accused along with her partner, actor Luis Lorenzo, of killing her 86-year-old aunt Isabel with poison to supposedly keep her inheritance, asked for the

Minimum Vital Income and the social electricity bonus

due to lack of income despite all the cash they had hidden in their house.

The Civil Guard agents who carried out the entry and search of the couple's home on May 25 located

a total of 127,025 euros in bills hidden in the sofa bed in the main bedroom and in the bathroom

.

This is stated in the summary, which includes the record of entry and registration in the house located on Luis García Berlanga de Rivas street, a diligence requested by court order.

According to the Civil Guard investigation, Arancha, 46, had not worked since 2015. That is why

she processed the social aid granted by the Community of Madrid

aimed at preventing the risk of poverty and social exclusion of people who live alone or They are integrated into a coexistence unit and lack basic economic resources to cover their basic needs.

Judge Elena Sanz Collado, at the head of the Court of First Instance and Instruction number 9 of Arganda del Rey, is investigating the actor and his wife for the alleged homicide of the old woman allegedly poisoned with cadmium and manganese.

Luis Lorenzo took advantage of her right not to testify about her while Arancha Palomino denied the accusations that the Civil Guard made about her.

Both were released on charges of murder.

The lawyer for the family of the deceased elderly woman María Isabel, Arancha Palomino's aunt,

has appealed for the couple's provisional release,

estimating that the judge made this decision in a "court hearing" to which he was not summoned despite exercising the private prosecution.

According to the autopsy, Isabel would have died from "heavy metal intoxication".

The amount of cadmium -present in oil paint-

would be 200 times higher than the normal limit,

while the concentration of manganese -present in cells and batteries- found in the body is twenty times higher than usual.

The record of entry and registration, written by hand and incorporated into the summary, details that 116,300 euros in 50-euro bills were located;

2,340 in 20-euro bills;

7,800 in 100 bills;

400 in 200 bills;

170 in 10 bills;

and 15 euros.

Among the effects intervened by the agents, there is medical documentation of the deceased and effects such as batteries, paint cans, bottles with unlabeled medicines and bottles with transparent liquids, among others.

The summary details the bank movements of the account of the old woman, 85 years old, in favor of her relative.

The transfers occurred between March 30 and June 29, 2021. On the day of her death, June 28, 2021, and the following day, there are different transfers amounting to 11,700 euros.

It was on May 21, 2021, when

Arantxa obtained a power of attorney to access the accounts.

On a previous occasion, she went to the notary, but the woman's poor condition forced her to be admitted to the hospital that same day, an episode that her caregiver recounted and whose testimony is collected by her proceedings.

The woman's relatives and friends certified in their testimonials that before going to Madrid she did not suffer from any mental illness and that she was in good physical and psychological health, except for deafness and that she suffered from cataracts.

The testimony of the caregivers: "I was unassisted"

The case contains the testimony of the director of the company that nurtured the marriage with caregivers as a result of being diagnosed with dementia and who indicate that the old woman would live, according to the summary,

a situation of "abandonment".

The summary contains a transcript of an audio from a caregiver on June 6, 2021 in which she complains about the neglect of the niece when the woman has lice, indicating that she is admitted after going to the notary, where Arantxa is denied giving power transfer papers due to their poor condition.

At another point, the testimony of another caretaker is collected who commented that

the woman had no elements to clean herself, no diapers or sponges so that she could be washed.

Another of the episodes that the summary includes is that on one occasion the marriage would have left the woman in a Vips for hours to go to an amusement park.
