He tried to manipulate with his phone

So when agents found a notebook, apparently belonging to the victim, containing notes in which he complained about the treatment he was receiving and not feeding him, among other things, the man suddenly snatched it from his hands and tried to destroy it. However, the rapid intervention of the police prevented this.

He also attempted to manipulate Amparo’s cell phone and turn it off.

No distress call

At this time, the judge is still waiting for the final results of the autopsy. The main hypothesis is that the woman died of extreme starvation, although the use of drugs from the benzodiazepine family is not ruled out, the results of pending forensic studies will be fundamental.

The investigation is therefore focused on determining whether premeditated murder (intentionally causing death) has occurred or whether this remains an accusation of dereliction of duty of care because the woman’s mobility is restricted due to her bone disease. It prevented him from walking and moving normally, so he could hardly go out in search of food.

Another point police are analyzing is whether Amparo’s partner sought medical attention at any point in the last month.This is something that seems improbable and raises suspicions because the woman’s extreme malnutrition is the product of a few weeks, not a few days.
