The order of the magistrate of the court of first instance and the instruction number 3 of Güímar, It also reveals that Olivia, whose body was found last Thursday, died of a violent, homicidal death from acute pulmonary edema.

The judge in charge of the Spanish girls case confirmed in his report what the Civil Guard had suspected from the start: The man wanted to make Beatriz Zimmermann, his former partner and mother of little girls, suffer as much as possible. Even if so far only the body of Olivia, 6, has been found, the magistrate, in her court decision, speaks of a double murder. “Gimeno killed them in a planned and premeditated manner to cause inhuman pain to his former partner,” he says.

Further, the judge reiterated that “she deliberately sought to leave her in limbo” as she told him that she would go to “a distant place to start a new life”.

The court file reconstructs the atrocious crime minute by minute.

On April 27, Gimeno made an agreement with Zimmermann to spend the afternoon with his daughters, which meant picking them up around 5:00 p.m. and bringing them home at 9:00 p.m. and Thursdays.

Then he gave his new partner a box sealed with duct tape, asking her to call him at 23. Despite his request, she opened the box around 5:20 pm and found inside a wad of money with it. 6,200 euros and a letter saying goodbye. .

Later, Gimeno went with the girls to their parents’ house, left Anna there and took Olivia to tennis lessons until around 6.30 p.m. “Gimeno took advantage of this circumstance to go to the Santa Cruz marina, where he parked his car at 5:50 pm at the jetty where he kept his boat moored to test the engine, leaving the marina shortly before 6:00 am. pm 00 hours, ”the report reads.

After picking up Olivia, she returned to her parents, where she stayed until a few minutes before 7:30 p.m. Barely 15 minutes later, he arrived at his home in Igueste de Candelaria. “Presumably, in the said farm, Gimeno killed his daughters, wrapping them in towels and placing them in garbage bags and these in sports bags, which he placed in his car,” the document adds.

At 9:05 p.m., with the remains of the girls in the trunk, he drove his vehicle to his parents’ house, where he secretly left his dog, two credit cards with his keys and two sets of keys to an Alfa Romeo that he had left at work in the early morning of April 27, around 12:30 am, at work.

Shortly before 9:30 p.m., the father returned to the Navy. After parking the vehicle, he made three trips from the car to his boat to transport various items, among which were the sports bags, inside which were allegedly the bodies of Olivia and Anna. Finally, at 9:40 p.m., he embarked with the boat.

At 9:50 p.m., in despair, the girls’ mother called Gimeno again, who shouted on the phone that she was not going to see the girls or him anymore, that she was leaving with them and that she was going to start a new life. . .

While he was already quite far from the coast and in an area he knew well, around 10:30 p.m., Gimeno threw into the sea from his boat the sports bags which contained the lifeless body of his daughter Olivia and probably that of his daughter Anna, both tied to an anchor with chain and rope

And after, At 10:30 p.m., he called his ex-wife back. “I can’t let them grow up without me,” he told her when he warned her that he was taking them and that he would never see them again.

“At around 11:15 pm, Gimeno came across a Civil Guard boat, which offered to sanction him for breaking the curfew. He then moored his ship again. At 11:45 p.m. he went to a nearby gas station and bought a cell phone charger, cigarettes and water, returning a few minutes before 00:00 to the marina, going with the security guard to his desk to charge the laptop. At 12:27 am he returned to his frame and set sail for the last time “, the details of the report.

The autopsy performed on daughter Olivia Gimeno revealed that the cause of her death occurred as a result of acute pulmonary edema (a buildup of fluid in the lungs), as reported by sources from the Canary Islands Superior Court of Justice (TSJC). The director of the Institute of Forensic Medicine and Forensic Sciences of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Jesús Vega, explained that the preliminary report does not allow to know the causes that caused this edema, and now that we must wait for know the histopathological findings.
