Genetic analysis confirms that the bones found in a house in Tinajo belong to Verónica, the young woman who disappeared in this municipality. This is according to the EFE agency, which cites judicial sources.
For their part, the National Police have assured La Voz that they have not yet received the results of the forensic tests, which have been carried out by the Institute of Legal Medicine of Las Palmas.
The gruesome discovery occurred earlier last week, when the National Police went to this house in Tinajo, after Verónica's blood brother reported her disappearance. In an initial search, they found a black bag full of bones, which genetic tests now confirm belong to Verónica.
Following this discovery, Verónica's father, her stepmother and two stepbrothers were arrested. The father, who was charged with the homicide of his daughter, died days later in the Doctor José Molina Orosa Hospital, where he had been transferred due to the cancer he suffered from.
The judge ordered provisional imprisonment for the stepmother, who is charged with homicide and/or concealment, while the stepbrother is also in jail, charged with concealment. The stepsister was released, although with charges.
Before dying, Verónica's father offered a confusing testimony, although he did assure that he had never mistreated his children and that he had been "a good father". On the contrary, the stepmother and the stepbrother blamed the father for the events and assured that he had made Verónica pregnant. "He told me not to worry, that he would solve it," the stepmother declared.
The version of the stepmother and the stepbrother clashes with that of Verónica's blood brother, José Luis, who gave an interview to La Voz, in which he assured that his father had never laid a hand on them and that it was the stepmother and stepbrothers who supposedly mistreated them.
