Logroño, (EFE)
This 44-year-old man, an industrial engineer by training and a Syrian refugee, like his 34-year-old wife, a psychologist, is in the cells of the Police Headquarters of La Rioja, in the capital of La Rioja.
The first data from the investigation, as reported to EFE, indicate that this man, after the murder, picked up the three children in common at the Rafael Azcona municipal library, close to his home, and went with them to the area of the fourth bridge over the river Ebro.
He, who did not know how to swim, like his three children, threw himself into the river and could have tried to drown the minors, although one of them managed to escape and ask for help.
The investigation “advances” and, as declared this Sunday by the police chief, Manuel Laguna, we must wait to find out the autopsy data, the evidence collected and to take a statement from the detainee, who had not yet done so yesterday, since the witnesses.
The man, upon being arrested by the Ebro River by the National Police, acknowledged that his wife could be dead at home, where the agents found her bled and dead, without any previous complaints of gender violence.
This is a Syrian refugee family, who arrived in Logroño in 2016 after having been in the refugee camps in Lebanon once they left their country.
The minors are under the guardianship of the Social Services of the Autonomous Community of La Rioja and a relative residing in Germany has already been contacted.
