A man and two children were found dead this Monday in an apartment in Barcelona, in what could be a new case of vicarious violence. The victims were the father and his two children, ages 7 and 10. It was the firefighters of the Generalitat and the agents of the Mossos d'Esquadra who found the three bodies. When they broke into the apartment they had already died. The mother of the children, who was separated from the man, was the one who raised the alarm, after her father did not hand over her children to him after the vacation period and her custody period ended.
The agents broke down the door of the home, in the Horta neighborhood, and found the three dead bodies. The house was closed everywhere and gave off a strong smell of gas. The mother filed a complaint alleging that the man did not return her children and had not taken them to school on the first day after the holidays. It is at school where the mother had to pick up the children. The woman herself, according to the testimony of some neighbors, had gone to her ex-partner's home this Monday to look for her children, but no one opened the door. That's when all the alarms have gone off.
All hypotheses are open, although the one that gained the most strength at the close of this edition was the murder by the father and that the man would have then committed suicide, which would be a case of vicarious violence. Apparently, the man and the mother, already separated, had problems over custody of the children. It was also considered that an accident could have occurred. The scientific area of the Mossos investigates the death of the father and two sons.
No history of violence
In any case, the 26th Investigative Court of Barcelona, acting as incident guard, has taken charge of the investigation into the three deaths. In his first communication on this matter he has reported that there is no history of violence between him and the mother of the two little ones. Five crews from the Mossos, four advanced support units, a team of psychologists from the Medical Emergency System (SEM), two crews from the Barcelona Fire Department and two units from the Urban Police arrived at the scene of the incident. the Catalan capital.
