It was 9 in the morning when a 17-year-old boy called 091 asking for help. He had found his six-year-old brother dead in a room of the house along with his mother, who had cuts on her hands and was in very serious condition. Although the Police are investigating the facts and keeping all hypotheses open, everything indicates that it is a suicide attempt. The woman would have killed her young son before trying to take her own life.
The dramatic event took place in the Jaen neighborhood of La Merced, where the emergency services went and were unable to do anything to save the little boy. The mother, 30, has been transferred to a health center in the city.
Anger and surprise. This is what the residents of this neighborhood in the old town of the capital of Jaén feel when they hear the sad news and who gather in the vicinity of the place. At the moment, the house where the event occurred is cordoned off and we are waiting for authorization to remove the boy’s body.
The mother, for her part, who was found next to her son’s body, is being treated at a health center to which she was transferred in serious condition and with signs of self-harm. Near her, the knife with which an attempt was made to take her life.
The Police have activated the judicial protocol with the notification to the investigating judge, the coroner and the Judicial and Scientific Police groups.
