Patricia Ramírez, the mother of little Gabriel Cruz, murdered in Almería in 2018 by his father’s girlfriend at the time, Ana Julia Quezada, has denounced this Saturday in Almería that the woman who killed her son and who was sentenced to prison permanent reviewable in 2019 is recording “a documentary or a television program” about the death of her son from the Brieva prison (Ávila), where she is imprisoned. According to Ramírez, he is doing it against the minor’s family, “undermining his image and memory, harming us even more if possible and forcing us to expose ourselves publicly again to stop him,” he lamented and asked institutions and television platforms “to stop” both its filming and its possible broadcast.
Ramírez has claimed to have put the matter in the hands of the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard (UCO) after having evidence from “a direct source” that prison officials had provided access to a mobile phone to the murderer of his son inside. from jail. In this way, “just as they did with the documentary about the crime of the urban police” – he pointed out – “Ana Julia Quezada would have been able to communicate and record audios and videos with representatives of a production company whose name she preferred not to give.” in case he reconsiders his objective” and against whom he will file a complaint in the coming days, he announced. According to Ramírez, who would have acted as promoter of this budding audiovisual project, he would be the one who was once the public defender of the convicted woman, Esteban Hernández Thiel, with an eminently lucrative purpose. And he recalled that three years ago they were offered to participate in that project and they expressed their rejection of both doing it and having it done.
The mother of the boy Gabriel, who these days has championed the fight of families who have been able to experience similar situations and who refuse to turn them into entertainment, into true crime, or to be fodder for media gloating about their terrible cases, has assured that he informed on several occasions (including in a personal meeting on December 27) both the Secretary of State for Security, Rafael Pérez Ruiz, and the Director General of Penitentiary institutions, Miguel Ángel Vicente. And that, although they initially assured her that the inmate had not been given any type of permission to record in prison, she has been able to verify that they have occurred and that, therefore, “irregularities are being committed in the prisons.” But she has not received a response to her information and pleas from the Interior, she has stressed.
Sources from the Ministry of the Interior assure that, “after attending to her personally and listening to her concerns, the appropriate checks were carried out” and that they have remained at her disposal. From the department headed by Fernando Grande-Marlaska they assure that they will continue to investigate everything that is pertinent and ordered by a judge in case the complaints announced by Patricia Ramírez are successful.
Gabriel’s mother – “I am still his mother, full-time, he is my son, he was not,” she insisted -, in an intense press conference held in the lighthouse of the Almería Provincial Council, described the “helplessness “, “helplessness” and “lack of protection” that he has felt both in the last three years as a victim of a violent crime in the face of continuous publications in the press and on television and despite his multiple complaints, as in recent weeks, in which he was having news of the evolution of that audiovisual project from “a direct source,” he noted.

Ramírez has also requested to appear publicly before the Justice and Interior commissions of the Congress and the Senate to expose the situation of “revictimization” that victims of violent crimes experience due to “media violence,” and has assured that she is not alone in their efforts, naming “Nuria Ardines”, the wife of councilor Francisco Javier Ardines, murdered in Llanes (Asturias) in August 2018, and whose family they would also be “harassing” with the possible production of documentaries or series about that murder.
At the press conference, a video of the child’s father, Ángel Cruz, who is working outside Spain, was also shown. In it he recalled: “Ana Julia, taking advantage of the fact that she was my partner, deceived me, she deceived us, she made us believe for 12 days that we could find him, she even gave false evidence, such as a dry shirt, and she had taken him, deceived, to a place where he knew that no one could see him, to kill him,” he said. “Let no one forget that,” he said, “I hope they don’t make us go through all that again.”
Addressing Ana Julia Quezada directly, Ramírez told her: “If you really regret what you did, don’t do this now.” And he recalled that this afternoon, at 7:30 p.m., there is a rally called in the Las Almadrabillas park in Almería, where the sculpture of the whale with which he was honored after the death of his “pescaito” is located. The slogan chosen for the protest is “our fish are not for sale.”
