Investigations into a brutal homicide near Llíria have led authorities to arrest three individuals in the towns of Llíria and Alberique who are suspected of involvement in the murder of a prominent local lawyer and poet. The crime occurred at a chalet in Llíria after a San Juan night gathering last June, with police saying the victim suffered a fatal blow to the head during the incident.
The three suspects reportedly fled the scene using the victim’s vehicle. The vehicle, a black Peugeot 407, was later found abandoned near the San Vicente park with the interior windows down and the doors open, suggesting a hasty exit and no immediate trace left at the scene.
For some time, investigators traced the alleged perpetrators, but it was not until additional evidence was collected that arrests were made. Civil Guard forensic teams took charge of the vehicle inspection, conducting a thorough visual survey of the suspects and gathering numerous items that were sent to the Civil Guard central laboratory for analysis.
The discovery of the crime occurred on June 25 when the deceased’s relatives located the body inside the chalet. Initial signs pointed to significant violence in the dining area, indicating a planned and forceful act. The victim was a former law student who did not practice law professionally and spent much of his career in leadership roles within telecommunications and networking companies. He was a father of three and a passionate poetry enthusiast who published the poetry collection Old House and participated actively in poetry readings and online literary workshops.
Autopsy and scene examination revealed extensive injuries on the body, especially on the head and face, with clear indications of a violent confrontation and a disturbed room that suggested a search or an attempt to simulate a robbery. From early on, investigators focused on those who were with the victim at the house party held on the night of June 23-24, taking advantage of his parents’ absence due to travel to a nearby municipality in Granada. The house door showed no signs of forced entry, and the victim’s car had been left in an alarming state, implying that the attackers fled the property after the crime.
Local law enforcement stressed that the case remains under formal secrecy and that further actions are possible as the inquiry continues. Civil Guard authorities have indicated that more arrests may occur as the investigation progresses, with ongoing analyzes at the central laboratory aimed at clarifying the sequence of events and the motives behind the attack.
