Verónica's stepsister has been added to the list of those charged with the young woman's alleged homicide, in her case as an alleged cover-up of the events. This has been confirmed by the press office of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands late this Monday, although her statement before the duty judge actually took place last Saturday.
In the statement, the TSJC points to the stepsister as the "fourth person arrested for her possible connection with the discovery of human remains in Tinajo".
On the same day that the house was searched and the bones were found in a black bag, the young woman was arrested along with her mother and Verónica's father. However, the Police released her three days later, without her being brought to justice.
However, the following day she would have been arrested again by the Police, according to the TSJC statement, which indicates that the stepsister went to testify as a detainee.
In her case, unlike the other three detainees, the judge decided to release her, although charged with a crime of concealment, and with the obligation to appear in court on the 1st and 15th of each month.
Meanwhile, Verónica's stepmother and stepbrother are already in the Tahíche penitentiary center, after the judge ordered provisional detention for them. The stepbrother was the last to be arrested, the day after the tragic discovery in the family home in Tinajo. As for Verónica's father, for whom provisional detention had also been ordered for an alleged crime of homicide, he died this Monday in the Hospital.
