A neighbor from Vilamarxant, Valencia, killed her 12-month-old baby and then tried to commit suicide by throwing herself out of the window. The woman has saved her life, she is hospitalized and remains guarded by the Police.
All the neighbors have woken up overwhelmed by what happened. The flags are at half mast and a minute of silence has taken place as a tribute to the little boy whose life was taken by his mother.
It was an anonymous neighbor who called the police. The agents discovered inside the house a child who was deceased. There were no open files in the family system for gender violence or previous suicide attempts, as the mayor of the town, Xavier Jorge, has assured.
At first, the emergency services thought it was a case of suicide.
The woman registered with her husband in the town 5 years ago. In the City Council there is no record that the parricide was in psychiatric treatment. At first the emergency services thought it was a suicide but later they found that she had killed her son and hidden her body.
As the mayor points out, the municipality is dismayed and for the moment the consistory lacks new information on the case.
