A man kills his three-year-old daughter in Torrevieja (Alicante) in a case being investigated as vicarious violence
The mother of the minor, the former partner of the alleged perpetrator of the crime, notified the Civil Guard last night that she had been unable to contact him for several hours.
The Civil Guard is investigating the murder of a three-year-old girl allegedly at the hands of her father, a 40-year-old man, in Torrevieja (Alicante), in a case in which the Government Delegation against gender violence is gathering data in case it is a case of alleged vicarious violence.
The girl's mother, a 36-year-old woman from Albatera who had been divorced from the alleged perpetrator for two years, alerted the Civil Guard last night that she had been unable to contact him for several hours . They shared custody of the child, and this weekend was her turn to spend it with her mother. Throughout Friday, she tried to contact the father, and when she was unsuccessful, at 11:00 p.m. she went to the Civil Guard station to file a missing person report. According to sources close to the investigation, the mother told officers that she had suffered abuse during the relationship, although there were no prior reports, and that her ex-partner had threatened to harm the girl if she did not end her relationship with another man.
The Civil Guard immediately began their investigation, locating the bodies around 1:00 AM in the garage of the alleged perpetrator's home in a residential area in the northern part of Torrevieja. The investigation to determine what happened is being carried out by the Women and Minors Unit of the Civil Guard's Judicial Police Unit in Alicante, and initial indications, based on the condition in which the bodies were found— hanged —suggest that it is a case of murder within the context of vicarious violence, followed by suicide by the alleged perpetrator.
The girl's mother had to be taken to Torrevieja Hospital , where she remains hospitalized suffering from shock and anxiety. The mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, travelled there to support the family and offer assistance. The City Council activated its social services staff to assist the entire family and, as the mayor himself explained in a public statement, expressed his "deepest condemnation, dismay, and immense sorrow" for what happened.
"This terrible event shocks us as a society and reminds us of the need to continue working together to protect children and eradicate all forms of violence within the family," said the mayor, who has called for a minute of silence this Sunday at 12 in front of the town hall.
From the Generalitat, both the Vice President of the Valencian Generalitat, Susana Camarero, and the commissioner for the fight against violence against women in the Consell, Felipe del Baño, have been in contact with the family to provide them with all the attention they need.
The Government Delegate in the Valencian Community, Pilar Bernabé , posted on her 'X' profile: "Shocked by the murder of a minor in Alicante. Unbearable terrorism. All my love to her family and friends."
