Chilling revelations on the case of the father who killed his two daughters

The disappearance of the girls sparked angry protests in cities across Spain on Friday.

“All of Spain is shocked, all our support for the families, whose pain is absolutely unbearable and unimaginable. All our rejection of indirect violence, of gender-based violence that some continue to deny”, declared President Pedro Sánchez, during of a visit to Costa Rica on Friday.

Tomás G., who is missing, is the prime suspect in the disappearance of 6-year-old Olivia and 1-year-old Anna after they failed to return the girls to their mother as agreed at the end of April.

A court on Saturday issued an international arrest warrant as a suspect on two counts of aggravated murder and one of domestic violence.

The suspect killed the girls at his home in Tenerife on April 27, according to a court document. He allegedly transported their bodies in his car to his boat and threw them overboard wrapped in towels and placed in sports bags around 10:30 p.m. local time the same night.

The defendant’s plan was “to cause your ex-partner the greatest pain he can imagine, by deliberately placing her in doubt as to the fate or fate that Olivia and Anna had suffered at his hands”, indicates the court document.

Olivia’s body was found Thursday in a sports bag weighted with an anchor at a depth of 1,000 meters, near where her father’s boat was found adrift. A second sports bag found at the scene was empty, according to a court statement.

After disposing of the remains of his daughters, Tomás G. returned to port in his boat, but was stopped by a police patroller for breaking the coronavirus curfew, investigators said.

He left port in his boat again after midnight on April 28 and was never seen again, they said.

An autopsy determined that Olivia died of pulmonary edema, according to the Canary Islands Superior Court.
