Overview
- A 24‑year‑old man surrendered to police and confessed to stabbing a 32‑year‑old speech therapist at Clínica Diálogo in Valencia after he said he found his two‑year‑old son with pants down during a session, according to investigators and multiple local reports on Monday.
- Officers from the Grupo de Homicidios and Policía Científica recovered a folding knife of about 15 cm at the scene, found the victim dead on the clinic floor, and transferred the body to the Instituto de Medicina Legal for an autopsy.
- Investigators have seized the victim's phones, a tablet and a computer and are collecting nearby commercial CCTV because the clinic reportedly lacked internal cameras, with police reviewing devices for any material that could confirm or refute the claimed abuse.
- Forensic teams reported a possible seminal stain on the victim's clothing that has been sent to a lab for confirmation, and authorities stress that the alleged sexual‑abuse motive remains unverified.
- Families, neighbours and clinic colleagues have publicly defended the therapist and noted no prior complaints, while the suspect remains in custody ahead of presentation to a judge within the legal 72‑hour period and police say multiple lines of inquiry remain open.
