The Mossos d'Esquadra team investigates the violent deaths of three members of the same family. Agents were alerted after the body of a woman was found on Lope de Vega street, in Barcelona's Sant Martí district. The Mossos' criminal investigation department began procedures, which took them to the town of Molins de Re, where they found two more bodies with signs of violence. According to preliminary investigations, a man killed his mother and father and then committed suicide.
Police sources indicated that the alleged killer first killed his mother and then traveled with his father by car to an urban area in Molins de Re, in Collserola, where the family had a second residence there. On this property they found the body of the father, and a short time later also the lifeless body of the son, who was going to commit suicide immediately after committing parricide.
Jutjat d'Instrucció 30 in Barcelona, as incident controller, took over this investigation. He ordered that the proceedings be kept secret.
The judicial committee, consisting of the judge, the public prosecutor, the coroner, and the Justice Department lawyer, began preparing the first steps to begin recovering the bodies.
Moussos explained that at approximately ten o'clock in the morning, the body of a woman was found in an apartment in the San Martí area of Barcelona, bearing signs of crime. The agents activated the court when they found that it would be a violent death.
An hour later, police in Molins de Re found the body of the father, who was apparently in the second residence, and then the body of the son, suspected of a double murder, who was going to commit suicide in a wooded area.
