The
'Yéremi case'
, the boy who disappeared in 2007 in
Vecindario (Canary Islands)
while playing in an open field with his cousins, takes a turn again.
The Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences of Las Palmas (Imlcf) has concluded that "there are no notes in the child's medical reports about the existence of signs of
cyanosis
."
This statement explodes the thesis of the little boy's relatives, who are trying to prove the guilt of the main suspect
Antonio Ojeda
, alias 'El Rubio'.
According to the prosecution's lawyer, Marcos García Montes, Ojeda spoke with another prisoner when he was incarcerated that the child suffered from this illness.
Cyanosis is a disease that causes respiratory failure in cases of stress that generates a bluish tone on the skin of the sufferer.
For Yéremi's family, the fact that the accused referred to the little boy as
"the blue boy"
means that Ojeda knew first-hand some medical information that supposedly only his relatives could know.
But the lmcf report dismisses that theory.
"From a medical point of view, there is no evidence that the minor was separated from the well-child control program due to any pathology," says the report, which adds that all the illnesses that Yéremi suffered in his medical life are "the usual ones that any child can develop in the different age ranges described.
