The Netflix series The Asunta Case has recovered from media oblivion the terrible crime that ended the life of Asunta Basterra Porto, a 12-year-old girl who was murdered in 2013 in Galicia.
The case made headlines for months, since, after an initial investigation, the authorities arrested the parents (Alfonso Basterra and Rosario Porto) and accused them of murder. Once the investigation was completed, the former couple was formally accused of the crime.
After two years of suspended prison, Porto and Basterra were found guilty and sentenced to 18 years in prison for having killed their daughter. Neither of them has ever acknowledged responsibility for the events.
While the journalist of Basque origin continues to serve his sentence in Teixeiro prison, in A Coruña, Porto could no longer withstand the pressure and ended his life in November 2020.
Since the fiction starring Candela Peña, Tristán Ulloa, María León and Javier Gutiérrez, among others, came to light, the case has once again become current news and dozens of programs and media have interviewed people around them, colleagues from prison, etc.
Teo’s house has also given a lot of talk, the place where the girl’s life was allegedly ended. When Porto committed suicide, the house became part of the inheritance he left to some friends. As has been learned thanks to El Correo Gallego, the 400 square meter property has just been sold for half its original price.
In recent years, as the owners were not able to sell it, the house became the scene of vandals and onlookers. A young TikToker who entered the house has gone viral on the video platform by showing what he had painted on the walls of one of his rooms.
The young man dedicates himself to visiting abandoned places and telling his stories online. Although he is used to finding all kinds of things, he has not been able to avoid sharing the bad feeling left by a series of writings that he found on the wall of the room in which Asunta was supposedly murdered.
”You can’t imagine when I came in. I didn’t know that people had already come in to vandalize and seeing this had a huge impact on me: ‘Rosario, it was better to fuck you than imprison you, darling,'” the boy explained in the video. The same young man shared that there were other graffiti around the house: ”Basterra, it was you”, ”Justice is requested”, etc.
