Spain Double Murder: Father's Chilling Plot to Hide Ex-Wife and Daughter's Deaths

A man was arrested in Xilxes for the murder of his ex-wife and their 12-year-old daughter. The suspect attempted to conceal his gender-based crime by staging a revenge killing and sending macabre photos.

The individual, a Moroccan national recently released from prison, staged a macabre deception to divert investigators’ suspicions. After killing his relatives, he took photos of himself wearing a hood in front of the bodies before sending the images to the police. In front of officers, he feigned despair, claiming to be the target of an outside criminal vendetta in an attempt to bolster a false alibi, reports El Mundo.

The Guardia Civil quickly dismantled this scenario during a meticulous investigation. The municipality’s surveillance footage and technical analyses revealed that all leads pointed directly to the ex-husband. Initially arrested for violating a restraining order, the suspect now faces double homicide charges before a court specializing in gender-based violence.

María José, 48, and her daughter were well-known figures in this small community in the province of Castellón. The mother, from a deeply rooted deaf family, had met the suspect on social media fifteen years ago. According to local witnesses, the accused had “already been lurking around the victim’s home for some time” despite the legal restrictions imposed on him.

The tragedy reportedly occurred last Monday, the day the girl failed to attend her music classes. The sudden interruption of communication with her mother had alerted those around her before the bodies were discovered the following day. This crime, which has shaken the Plana Baixa region, marks the second victim of gender-based violence in a single week in the province.
