The Civil Guard has opened a reserved information to review the police action since the search for the missing Tenerife girls began with their father, Tomás Gimeno, as reported to Europa Press by sources from the Armed Institute, who emphasize that this is a usual procedure in this type of case.
The aforementioned sources add that the Civil Guard usually opens this type of reserved information ex officio because it affects internal protocols that require secrecy so as not to harm future investigations.
In this sense, they add that a report is only submitted to determine responsibilities in the event of any failure or malpractice within the sequence of action.
The search device was activated after the mother of the girls Olivia and Anna alerted the Civil Guard on April 27 that her ex-partner, Tomás Gimeno, had not returned the minors. On June 10, the oceanographic vessel 'Ángeles Alvariño' located two sports bags on the seabed, one of them broken and empty and the other containing the lifeless body of Olivia.
The search is now focused on locating Anna and Tomás Gimeno, whom the order of the magistrate of the Court of First Instance and Instruction Number 3 of Güímar blames for allegedly killing his two daughters in his house in Igueste de Candelaria, then wrapping them in towels and putting them in garbage bags, which he in turn put in sports bags to throw them into the sea attached to a chain, a rope and an anchor.
In the chronological account, the judge detailed that Tomás Gimeno gave his current partner a pencil case with packing tape, with a wad of money amounting to 6,200 euros and a letter saying goodbye to her.
It also highlights the calls with the mother of the girls, Beatriz, one of them in the presence of a Civil Guard agent, minutes before a patrol of the Armed Institute stopped him when he was in his boat, imposing a proposed sanction for skipping the curfew time restrictions due to Covid-19.
