A 43-year-old man has allegedly killed his 13th daughter and then has committed suicide during the early hours of this Friday at his home on Errekalde-Larraskitu Street in Bilbao. The young woman’s mother, who was also in the house, has been injured and transferred to the Basurto hospital. The events have occurred around 05.00 in the morning when the woman has ran from the house to alert what was happening. Municipal Police agents have helped the victim and have addressed the home where the aggression has occurred and have located the two deceased people, both the girl and the man, with signs of violence allegedly caused by a white weapon. Ertzaintza has taken care of the investigation and investigates the event as an alleged case of Vicaria violence, as reported in a statement.
Throughout tomorrow, journalists and neighbors have approached the area of the event, which is cordoned off and guarded from the moment of the facts by the Basque Police. They can only cross the stairs that raise their neighbors to the homes. Meanwhile, Ertzaintza agents enter and leave. The bodies of both, father and daughter, have been withdrawn after 09.00 and since then the scientific police are within the house performing the corresponding tests without providing more data about the investigation.
Nicolás is one of the neighbors who says he has seen the woman “running and screaming” during this morning. His house is in front of the house in which the events have occurred. “I heard shouts, I looked out and saw her running. Soon the patrols arrived and some dogs began to bark. I thought it had been a fight,” he says. In the nearest bar, the artatxu, is the only issue in which the neighbors who stop to have coffee speak. “We have to know them, at least sight of, but I don’t fall now,” says Teresa. The closest to housing confess to having heard noise, but most argue that he has learned from the news. “You keep your body frozen, who can do something like that to her daughter? I don’t want to think about how the mother will be, let’s hope she leaves the hospital,” says the neighbor.
The Lehendakari Imanol Pradales has assured in an act this morning that “everything indicates that we could be facing a case of vicarious violence.” “It is the most cruel and most terrible expression of sexist violence,” he added. Pradales has transferred “in these painful moments” his support, affection and affection, as well as that of “the entire Basque Government” to the close people and has asked for “rigor and respect” in the investigation that is underway to clarify what happened. At 12.00 the Bilbao City Council has convened a five -minute silent concentration to condemn and denounce the death of the child allegedly at the hands of his father.
The Basque Institute of Women (Emakunde) has firmly condemned the murder and transferred support to the mother of the young woman. “Waiting for the details that emerge from the investigation, it is a case of macho murder in the intrafamily environment that could aim at vicar violence,” he said in a statement, in which they indicate that they make available to the environment of the best resources and services of the administration for cases of sexist violence.
Emakunde recalled “the hardness and structural nature of sexist violence, as well as its ability to extend, transmit and adapt to different types of relationships.” “This is not an isolated event, but before one more consequence of the inequality of women and men in society, whose most extreme expression is that of sexist violence against women,” they have pointed out and then remember that it is “necessary Society free of violence against women ”.
