Sabadell judge Juan Díaz Villar instructs the National Police Analyze the paper containing two anonymous letters that Helena Jubany received weeks before she was killed, December 2, 2001. By instructing this new investigation, the trainer also reports that all analyzes are currently being carried out by the scientific unit of the government agency and the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Medicine. The sciences were negative. In the sweater Jubany wore that night He was thrown half unconscious from the roof of a building in Sabadell. No biological remains were found belonging to Santi Laiglesia or Xavier Jiménez, the only two people investigated in this case, which was reopened on the verge of prescription at the end of 2021.
However, at the request of the victim’s family, the Sabadell robed man Genetic material from one or two unidentified males preserved from Jubany’s jerseywill be reanalyzed by another institution, the Institute of Forensic Sciences of the University of Santiago de Compostela, so that it can continue to verify whether it is Jiménez or Laiglesia using “state-of-the-art” techniques. Results so far rule this out.
female DNA
Jubany’s family had also requested that unidentified DNA residues be matched to d’s genetic profiles.Women already researched for this purpose crime: Montse Careta and Ana Echaguibel. Judge Díaz denied this second request, but ordered both the institute and the police department to examine whether any of the unidentified DNA samples they were holding belonged to a woman outside of Jubany. The result was negative as both institutions responded to the judge. Careta’s sister, who committed suicide in prison after being arrested for this crime, stated that she always kept her innocence and acted under the pressure of her boyfriend Laiglesia.
DNA samples taken from Jubany’s body and sweater belong to two unknown individuals, who, according to genetic testing to date, were not the other person investigated, Laiglesia or Jiménez. The victim surrendered before the murder.
biological clues
The clothes Jubany wore on the day of the murder remained in the courthouse for twenty years. A severely degraded biological sample was recovered from the victim’s brown sweater, containing a mixture of DNA from two or more individuals. One of the persons was Jubany, and the other was an unidentified man. The judge therefore requests a new joint comparison of this sample with the profiles of Laiglesia and Jiménez.
At the same time, the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Science reported that it had a cotton swab at the end, after the Sabadell court urged it to retrieve samples obtained during the autopsy in Jubany a few hours after the crime. – and also Samples from the victim’s fingernail. Analyzing these samples with available technology on its own, both the nail material and the swabs revealed the genetic remains of another unknown person: another man.
anonymous
The judge insists on the DNA evidence because he believes there are “sufficient indications” that Jiménez participated in the Jubany murder, and that Laiglesia, whom the National Police investigator has pointed to as the prime suspect in the Crimes program, may have done so.
Shortly before Jubany was assassinated, he received two anonymous letters ( September 17 from 2001 And October 9, 2001). National Police thinks it is Jiménez, the author of these anonymous. The handwriting experts came to this conclusion despite Jiménez’s refusal to provide the texts he wrote for 2001. Jiménez claimed that he could not find any handwritten documents from that period.
Both unnamed persons left at his doorstep were accompanied by soft drinks: horchata and orange juice. The soft drinks contained the same drugs found in Jubany’s body that made the killers sleepy.
In his order, the judge states that Jiménez knew that Jubany adored horchata because he had had that soft drink with her before. The second anonymous letter was delivered to Helena’s home on a day when there was no record of Jiménez, who was then working in the Barcelona City Council, going to work.
The content of the anonymous letters gives detailed clues, such as if the author wants to learn English or wants to meet Jubany on another trip with Jubany. Sabadell Walkers Association (UES)They made Helena suspect that Jiménez might be behind them, and she told this to a friend. Both Jubany and Jiménez were members of the UES, and the latter fell in love with her and tried to seduce her, but the attempt created distance between them.
Church
The church, on the other hand, lived intermittently in the area. The block where Jubany’s body was dumped. He often spent the night in that building because Careta’s (Laiglesia’s partner in 2001) apartment was there. on that floor Boxes of Noctamide drug found Benzodiazepines, a psychotropic substance, were found in the victim’s body. In the same house there were also: matches like those found on the roof and that these would be used to burn parts of Jubany’s body. Laiglesia also clashed with Careta When both are questioned by the National Police after the crime. There are also phone calls Jubany received from the landline of Careta’s home in the days before the crime, which Laiglesia may have made herself.
Jubany’s murder ended at the end of 2021, when the crime turned 20 years old. However, Laiglesia was formally investigated until 2005, when the case was closed. So did the deceased Careta and Echaguibel. So for Laiglesia and Echaguibel, the crime won’t expire until 2025.
