A father allegedly murdered his toddler son’s speech therapist by slashing his throat after discovering the child without a diaper during a session.
The 24-year-old man reportedly turned himself in to authorities in Valencia, Spain, around 6:15 pm last Monday, where he was apprehended with blood on his hands.
According to reports, he confessed to assaulting the 32-year-old victim after momentarily leaving his two-year-old son to smoke a cigarette outside, only to return and find the child undressed without a diaper.
The suspect, identified locally as David G.S, purportedly initiated a physical altercation with the speech therapist when the latter refused to show him surveillance footage from his clinic.
Subsequently, he fatally wounded the victim with a knife he had in his possession, resulting in the victim’s death at the facility the following day, with his throat slit by a 15cm blade.
Witnesses who overheard the argument preceding the attack stated that the assailant threatened the therapist, saying, “Either you show me the cameras or I’ll kill you.”
After committing the crime, the suspect drove back to his residence on the outskirts of Valencia before going to a police station to confess.
Law enforcement officers discovered the victim’s body at his clinic after receiving the confession, and the area was secured for forensic examination.
Following the victim’s identification, the body was transported to the Institute of Legal Medicine in Valencia for an autopsy.
The suspect’s upcoming legal proceedings, whether scheduled for today or tomorrow, remain uncertain, as he is currently in police custody.
It is expected that he will be detained in a local prison after the closed-door court appearance, as is customary in Spain, where trials are conducted publicly.
