Pamplona, (EFE).- The Navarrese town of Fitero is dismayed by the alleged attempted parricide of three minors, who have been injured and are hospitalized, and the subsequent suicide attempt by their mother, who remains in police custody.
“Consternation at the local level and consternation among the migrant group,” the mayor of the town, Miguel Aguirre Yanguas, from Navarra Suma, told EFE, who still could not explain what happened mid-morning at the home of this family, apparently originally from Morocco.
A family without “any kind of problem or difficulty”
With 25% of the population being migrants, Fitero’s social services work with these people to help them integrate into the town, but beyond this “we have no information that would suggest any specific problem or difficulty” with this family, Aguirre commented.
And he added that these are people who “have not had to go” to the City Council for minor issues, only if they have done so, it has been for other procedures like the rest of the migrant families residing in the municipality.
“Absolutely” there was no suspicion in the City Council, the mayor stressed, adding that he is completely unaware of what could have happened “and I don’t even want to venture because they are very delicate things,” he added in this regard.
Miguel Aguirre has also shown his “concern” about the state of the youngest of the three-year-old children.
Admitted to the University Hospital of Navarra
The alleged parricide attempt took place mid-morning when the father was working outside the home, to which he went when informed of the facts to collect some personal belongings before moving to Pamplona, to the University Hospital of Navarra, where his children have been admitted, after initial care at the Reina Sofía Hospital in Tudela.
“The man was in a state of shock,” the mayor commented after noting that, “as far as we know, the father lived with the family.”
Aguirre has advanced that his intention is to convene a meeting at the City Hall in the last hours of this Thursday in which the corporation will decide the steps to take.
Mother’s suicide attempt
The event occurred at mid-morning and it was the two eldest children, ages 5 and 9, who went out into the street asking for help, for which reason the neighbors called the Civil Guard who, upon entering the home along with the minors, found the mother and the 3-year-old child.
The woman, who has apparently tried to commit suicide with poison, is now in the Reina Sofía Hospital, where she remains detained while the Judicial Police of the Civil Guard investigates the case, which has been taken over by the Court of First Instance and Instruction number 1 of Tudela.
