The tragedy happened in the early hours of Wednesday in Granada city.


A Granada couple have been arrested accused of being involved in the death of their neighbour’s six year old son.

The father reported the child missing at 1.15am Wednesday morning, claiming that the boy had left their first floor flat without his parents noticing.

The body of the child was then found at the back of the same block by police who arrived at the scene shortly after.

Police consider that the child could have fallen from a window in a third floor flat in the same block in Calle Molino Nuevo, in the Almanjáyar area of the city. It’s thought the child could have climbed the stairs to the neighbour’s flat and fallen from their terrace. Police are investigating if it was a tragic accident, or whether the child was thrown from the balcony.

The owners of the third floor flat, aged 54 and 36 have been arrested and the autopsy will determine if the child was already dead before falling or not. The 12 year old daughter of the arrested couple has now been placed in care for her protection.

12 year old confesses to taking part in the death of 6 year old.

The body of the six year old was found by police behind the block where he lived, having fallen from a third floor window.


The 12 year old daughter of the married couple arrested in the Almanjáyar area of Granada city last Wednesday has declared that she took part in the death of a neighbour’s six year old child.

The six year old child escaped from his home on the first floor of the block at about 8pm last Tuesday, and unseen by his parents climbed the stairs to the third floor flat belonging to the accused. He died from injuries received after falling from a window in the 3rd floor flat.

The 12 year old daughter had been placed into social services care for some time, as her parents had drug related problems and were deemed unable to care for her, but she had escaped from the centre and returned home. It seems the parents had not informed the authorities that the child was back with them. Now following her confession, her parents have been released but with charges of homicide outstanding against them. She has admitted that she had called the child to her home as the two of them were friends, and witness say she called him offering him a toy.

El País reports that the investigation is not clear what happened; whether the six year old fell accidentally, or was pushed, or if the 12 year old has made a confession to protect her parents.

The release of the parents of the 12 year old has already been challenged by the parents of the victim.
