A crime that shocks Villanueva de la Cañada
The murder of David, an 11-year-old boy, has left a deep mark on the community of Villanueva de la Cañada. The tragic event occurred last Thursday when the minor was repeatedly stabbed inside the Cultural Centre La Despernada, where he attended English classes. Despite efforts to save him, David died after being transferred to the Hospital 12 de Octubre.
The Civil Guard has intensified its investigation since the arrest of the alleged perpetrator of the crime, a 22-year-old man with a history of mental health issues. Following his arrest, this individual was placed in provisional detention and is currently in the psychiatric module of the Navalcarnero prison.
In an unexpected turn in the investigation, authorities have confirmed that thanks to citizen collaboration, two bladed weapons have been found at different locations in the municipality. These items are undergoing forensic analysis to determine if either could have been used during the fatal attack.
Despite the discovery, investigators have noted that there appears to be no apparent connection between the two weapons found. Forensic evidence will be crucial in establishing any link to the case. So far, details about the exact locations where they were found remain confidential.
Since this tragedy occurred, the community has shown remarkable solidarity and a desire to seek justice for David. Neighbours have actively collaborated with local authorities to assist in the search for the murder weapon from the very beginning. Although the initial searches did not yield positive results, citizen support has been fundamental in advancing this complicated investigation.
As events unfold, both family and friends are hoping for answers and justice for this violent act that has marked an entire locality.
