Mohamed

did not have an accidental death.

The main hypothesis handled

by the Ceuta National Police Homicide Group

is that the 8-year-old boy was killed late last Sunday night in a field next to his neighborhood.

The investigators began the

round of interrogations

yesterday between the closest circle of the minor, his acquaintances, the neighbors and also the friends with whom he was going to play soccer.

In addition, the agents are

reviewing the security cameras in the area

in search of any clues that lead to the person who ended his life.

Mohamed had

a very strong blow to the head.

The

autopsy

will approximate the causes of death and may also give clues to the

circumstances surrounding it

.

Police are awaiting the results to determine if he may have suffered a sexual assault.

After a

harrowing early morning

, the boy's body appeared early yesterday morning in an open field next to his neighborhood, Loma Colmenar, where the little boy lived with his parents and three siblings.

Mohamed had left home around 7:00 p.m. last Sunday after telling his parents that he was going to play soccer with his friends, a routine he repeated daily.

It has not yet been revealed if he came to meet with them.

Alerted by the little boy's tardiness

, two hours later the family began to get restless.

His tardiness was not normal, especially when there was school the next day.

His parents and siblings began looking for him in the neighborhood, a recently built urban center located next to the Ceuta hospital, where everyone knows each other.

They combed the streets, nearby sports facilities and also went to the house of the child's friends.

After certifying that the search for him was totally unsuccessful, at 1:00 a.m., Mohamed's father went to the police station to report his disappearance.

The police device was then activated to find him and at 07:00 yesterday morning the body appeared in a field.

He had a blow to the head.

From the first moment, the investigators were certain that it was a violent death due to the wound that he presented and the disposition in which the body was found.

The National Police cordoned off the area pending the arrival of the judicial authority as well as the forensic doctor.

The Homicide section has taken over the investigation and the court has decreed the secrecy of the proceedings.
