Man arrested after ex-‘s adopted daughter dies

In a house in the Llano de Brujas neighbourhood of Murcia, a five-year-old child died yesterday afternoon after ingesting an excessive number of pills. The Guardia Civil has detained Jesús J., the girl’s adoptive mother’s ex-boyfriend (she was his cousin’s biological child), in Torrevieja, Alicante, on suspicion of homicide. According to people close to the investigation, the individual reportedly called the police and admitted that he had “done something wrong.”

Benemérita Guardia Civil investigators are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the small girl taking of these tablets, which seem to be Orfidal. Based on this and other facts, it seems likely that the man killed the girl. The results of an autopsy, which will be essential in elucidating the circumstances surrounding her death, are still pending.

The body of little Nadia was found in the aforementioned district on Tuesday afternoon in an apartment on Calle González Valentín. Sources say that the body was discovered and that emergency services were contacted by the parents of the girl’s adoptive mother’s ex-boyfriend, known locally as Suso.

The girl was foaming at the mouth and had obviously lost consciousness. The girl was still alive when the ambulance and Murcia Local Police officers arrived on the site, and their paramedics tried to revive her. But in the end, the child passed away at home.

After learning of the news, Ramona, the little girl’s adoptive mother went into the flat. According to some reports, the woman’s ex-boyfriend had called her before. Neighbourhood reports claim that the woman yelled as she exited the flat, accusing her ex-partner of killing the girl: “It was him, it was him.”

The case has been turned over to the Guardia Civil’s Judicial Police. Officers got in touch with the suspect’s relatives and associates. One of the suspects close friends tried to persuade Jesús J. of the significance of turning himself in to the authorities and providing an explanation of what had transpired by sending him audio recordings and text messages.

The man was apprehended by police in Torrevieja, Alicante, late yesterday, Tuesday 1st April. Additionally, investigators searched the flat for any evidence that would shed light on the case.
