The Mossos d’Esquadra are preparing for a long and complex investigation before they can advance conclusions about why Sallent’s (Bages) twins, 12 years old, jumped into the void, a decision that ended the life of one of them and seriously injured one of them. the other. The state of health of the second is “stable within gravity & rdquor ;, which means that her life is considered to be out of danger but that the consequences of the fall are still difficult to foresee.
According to the sources consulted by EL PERIÓDICO, the agents of the ABP Investigation Unit of the Bages region, in charge of the investigations, take very much into account the desire that one of the two minors had expressed to begin be treated like a boy and also if that will had exposed her to suffering ridicule or contempt of any kind at the Llobregat Institute, where both were in 1st ESO.
The investigation will be long and complex because, although both issues are on the agents’ table, it will require meticulous work to conclude if one of the two, or both, were decisive for them to take the decision. decision to commit suicide. What the police have ruled out is that nobody pushed them. Two chairs had been placed by the balcony and they left two notes who maintain that it was an autolysis and in which one of them alluded to the desire to be a boy. There is no trace of crime in an outcome that has shocked the population of Sallent.
For the police it will be necessary to find strong evidence can link suicide of one of them, the one who expressed doubts about his identityand the ‘bullying’. Especially since establishing this correlation will automatically imply blaming minors of the same age, between 12 and 13, for a death.
It is not something that can be concluded lightly, police sources underline, alluding to the case of Kira, the 15-year-old teenager who committed suicide in May 2021. The parents of this girl reported that their daughter suffered bullying and the Mossos investigated that possibility for a year and a half. After that time, the evidence that they provided to the court was not enough and this past Monday the Barcelona Court confirmed the filing of this case without considering that the aforementioned ‘bullying’ against Kira existed.
“We will look at everything,” the police sources insist, making it clear that the suicide or attempted suicide of two children under 12 years of age deserves all the efforts that can be made to try to clarify what happened. The magnifying glass of the researchers is on the familiar surroundings and some parents who are requiring psychological treatment to face what happened; about the school, which no longer rules out that bullying existed, although it affirms that it is not aware of it; and on the Psychological attention that the girls required, especially the deceased.
