Judge detains three suspects arrested in connection with the Dos Hermanas murders
The three detained are a woman and two men of Spanish nationality, although their involvement in the case is still unknown. They have been charged with the crimes of unlawful detention and murder.
The judge of the Examining Magistrate's Court number 19 of Seville has arranged pre-trial detention without bail for the three suspects¿two men and one woman¿in the investigation opened after three bodies were discovered very early on Monday morning in a house in the Sevillian town of Dos Hermanas. The bodies could be, in the absence of autopsy results, that of a woman and her daughter who were both declared missing from Bellavista last September, and the woman¿s domestic partner, of Turkish nationality.
The magistrate, while proceedings are sub judice, has charged them with three counts of unlawful detention and three counts of murder.
Meanwhile, according to Europa Press¿ judicial sources, the forensic scientists at the Seville Institute of Forensic Medicine continue to perform autopsies on the three bodies to try to identify them and establish the cause of death. However, everything points to evidence that the human remains that were found buried in caustic soda in a house in the district of Cerro Blanco, Dos Hermanas, belong to that of 26-year-old Sandra Captain, her 6-year-old daughter Lucía, and the woman's domestic partner¿a man of Turkish nationality with a criminal record for drug trafficking. According to the government delegate in Andalusia, the investigation is still open and, for this reason, "further arrests will not be ruled out".
