La muerte del matrimonio hallado en un jacuzzi en Cullera apunta a una posible sucesión fatal de accidentes

In Valencia's coastal town of Cullera, a shocking discovery was made on Tuesday afternoon. The bodies of a 50-year-old and 45-year-old Irish couple were found in the jacuzzi of an apartment they had rented in the upscale urbanization Cap Blanc. The two children, aged 14 and 16, who were the only occupants of the property at the time, made the gruesome discovery and immediately called for help.

The parents' relatives were being sought in Ireland to provide answers, as the Guardia Civil's Homicides Investigation Unit took over the case. Although there were no immediate signs of the cause of death, investigators noted that the bodies were naked and showed puncture-like injuries. The condition of the victims has left their young children traumatized, as they struggle to communicate in Spanish and have special needs.

Social workers and psychologists from the municipality's Social Services department are providing support to the children while the investigation continues.
