Overview
- A Violence Against Women court in Vila-real ordered provisional imprisonment for Abdelkader B., 39, on suspicion of murdering his ex-wife and their 12-year-old daughter and for breaching a restraining order.
- Guardia Civil recovered the mother’s phone during a court-authorized search of the suspect’s rented room in Valencia’s Benicalap district, and specialists are extracting its data.
- Investigators report the device sent images of the bodies to contacts nearly 48 hours after the killings, and they determined a hooded photo the suspect presented came from TikTok.
- Autopsy findings and crime-scene indicators place the deaths between late Sunday and early Monday, contradicting the suspect’s account that he discovered the bodies on Tuesday.
- The murder weapon has not been found, and a funeral for María José Bou and Noemí is scheduled Saturday at the Parroquia de la Asunción in Xilxes.
