According to the neighbors who alerted the Civil Guard after hearing the victim’s cries for help, she "was a very pretty and good woman". "She was a very kind, very educated woman; she never passed by without saying a word to you," said a neighbor.

The alleged killer was kept in the apartment by the Civil Guard agents who cordoned off the perimeter, preventing access to the 43-story building. For its part, the local police cut off traffic on the road to allow the investigators to do their work.
