Detenido un hombre de 25 años que guardaba el cadáver de su padre en un armario de su casa de Segovia desde hace año y medio
El arrestado ha confesado que conservaba el cuerpo de su progenitor, de 71, en su vivienda de Torrecaballeros
A 25-year-old man from Segovia has been arrested for allegedly storing his 71-year-old father's decomposing body in a closet of their shared home for over half a year. The suspect confessed to authorities that he had been keeping the corpse at their residence in Torrecaballeros, a town of 1,500 inhabitants. Upon arrival, the Guardia Civil confirmed the presence of the body and proceeded to arrest the son.
The reasons behind the actions remain undisclosed, as is the cause of the father's death. It is common for family members to retain a deceased person's remains for extended periods, often related to pension or benefit payments. Sources familiar with the investigation tell EL PAÍS that there is little information available, confirming only the absence of violence and the fact that the father was ill and lived with his son in the village. The news has caused shock in Torrecaballeros.
