The two little girls went missing on April 27, after being abducted by their own father – Possibly the father killed them and threw their bodies into the sea – A few days ago the body of the 6-year-old older sister was found on the Spanish seabed
The search was repeated today, off the Canary Islands , in an attempt to locate the body of a girl, after finding the body of her sister, who, according to the first data of the investigation, was killed by their father , with the aim of causing ” Inhuman pain ” to their mother.
At a time when this case has caused terror in the country, hundreds of people today responded to a call to observe a minute of silence in front of town halls.
” The whole of Spain is in shock, ” Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Friday. Unable to set sail on Saturday due to damage, a ship came out this afternoon off the island of Tenerife, in an attempt to locate the body of Anna, one year old, and that of Thomas Gimenos’ father.
The body of six-year-old Olivia was found on the ocean floor on Thursday, in a sack, tied to a ship anchor. The two girls have been missing since April 27, after they had left with their father.
The judge handling the case said that the “most likely” case is that father Thomas Jimeno killed his little girls at his home, before throwing their bodies into the sea, at great depth, in order to “never be found”.
He did not intend to kidnap them, but to “kill them on the basis of a premeditated plan”, according to a court document that was made public.
“Inhuman pain” ” He sought to cause his ex-partner the greatest pain imaginable, an inhuman pain”
, the judge estimates, according to which the mother of the two girls, Beatrice Zimmerman, had divorced a year ago with Jimenos, who had reacted very badly to their separation, especially since she had found a new partner.
According to the autopsy-necropsy, which was performed on Friday morning in Olivia, the girl died of ” violent death “. ” Although at this stage we have found only Olivia’s body, the most probable case regarding Anna is, unfortunately, the same, ” the judge pointed out.
The mother of the two girls published a letter in the Spanish media , in which she said that she hoped that their death ” would not have been in vain. “Thanks to them, we know what” indirect violence “means, that is, violence against a child to attack a woman, the judge continues, calling for the tightening of laws” with the aim of protecting children “.
The case has been assigned to a court in Tenerife that specializes in violence against women. In Spain, 39 minors have been murdered by their father or their mother’s partner or ex-partner since 2013, according to government figures.
