On September 8, in a house in the San Isidro neighborhood of Valencia, a 51-year-old man was found dead with a severe blow to the head. The victim, Antonio Gómez, was the stepfather of the 23-year-old man who is now facing charges of murder. According to sources, the crime was planned in the early morning, when the young man, after a fight with a third person in a nearby park, was taken to the General Hospital of Valencia by the Local Police and health services. He was admitted to the Emergency Department, where he remained under psychiatric surveillance. Hours later, he escaped from the hospital center and returned to his family home. There, between 7 and 10 a.m., he gave his stepfather a fatal blow with a dumbbell weighing about 15 kilos. The body was discovered by the victim’s ex-wife, who did not receive a response to her calls. The National Police launched an active search for the suspect, who remained missing. Ten days later, the young man was arrested on the Avenida de las Tres Cruces, after an anonymous call to the CIMACC 091 Room that alerted of his presence. An old teacher recognized him while walking through the area and followed him discreetly, providing his location to the Police. He was intercepted around 6:50 p.m. The judge of Plaza 9 of the Instruction Section of the Valencia Court of First Instance, on duty, decreed the provisional detention communicated and without bail. The young man has invoked his right not to testify. The investigation continues, and the case remains under the charge of murder, without prejudice to further qualification. The National Police has warned of the possible danger of the fugitive, a highly corpulent man with psychiatric background and mobility problems in one leg. The crime, which occurred after a discussion in a park and an intervention by the stepfather to calm the young man, has generated concern in the San Isidro neighborhood. The arrest, achieved thanks to citizen collaboration and discreet follow-up, marks a turning point in the investigation. The case continues to be studied by the court, which has considered it necessary to keep the accused in provisional detention without bail due to the seriousness of the crime and the risk of escape.
