Tauste crime: investigation focuses on clarifying the role of the daughter and her boyfriend in the homicide and how they got to the house

El entorno de las víctimas apunta que los detenidos habían hablado recientemente con el matrimonio del pueblo zaragozano sobre un tema personal que pudo desencadenar el crimen

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

At 3:27 this Saturday, August 8th, a neighbor of Tauste (Zaragoza, 6,800 inhabitants) got up to use the bathroom. He heard screams coming from the house next door. “Javier! Javier!”. Half an hour earlier, at 2:54, that Javier had last connected to his WhatsApp. Everything points to the fact that death came to him and his wife Esther between that last connection and the scream that their neighbor heard.

Their bodies were found a few hours later, at dusk, murdered with knife stabs. He was in the bedroom and she was on the stairs. Soon everyone knew that Javier Sánchez and Esther Latorre, a well-known couple of agricultural leaders, very committed socially and with constant activity for pacifism, had been killed.
