The investigation implicates the older brother in the 'violent' homicide of Francisca Cadenas: "It cannot be ruled out"
Juli González, a confessed murderer, claims his younger brother Lolo is innocent in the violent death of their neighbor Francisca Cadenas, but investigators believe both brothers may be involved.
The recent investigation into the homicide of Francisca Cadenas, who was killed in her home in Hornachos, Badajoz, has brought to light new evidence suggesting potential complicity between the two brothers involved in the case. Juli González, 50, confessed to the murder and has attempted to exculpate his 55-year-old brother Lolo, asserting his innocence throughout the investigation. However, authorities, including the UCO and the investigating judge, find Juli's claims to be unconvincing and are actively pursuing the theory that Lolo's involvement cannot be discounted.
After a lengthy 16-month investigation, the case, which had been archived for five years, is being reexamined based on police diligence and new testimonies. The UCO has indicated that the timeline of Francisca's death remains unclear, particularly concerning whether she was killed after Lolo's arrival at the scene. Juli's account raises questions about the exact circumstances of the homicide, prompting authorities to explore the possibility that both brothers shared culpability in the crime, contrary to Lolo's assertions of innocence.
This case not only highlights the complexities surrounding familial relationships in criminal investigations but also reflects the challenges law enforcement faces in unraveling violent crimes that may involve multiple parties. As the investigation continues, the implications for both brothers could be significant, shifting perceptions of guilt and innocence as new evidence emerges and the legal proceedings unfold.
