On Sunday, 11 March 2018, the Spanish police arrested a Dominican woman accused of killing an eight year old boy, who disappeared some 12 days ago in the south of Spain and had been the subject of a major search.
The body of Gabriel Cruz was found on Sunday by security forces in the trunk of a car owned by the arrested woman, Ana Julia Quezadio, who was the partner of the child’s father and had been working with the rest of the family to find the child.
Gabriel disappeared on 27 February having left his grandmother’s house in Las Hortichuelas, in Níjar (Almería, south of Spain).
The arrested woman was a person of interest to the Police since last Saturday, 3 March when she told the agents she had supposedly discovered a white shirt that used to contain Gabriel’s body in an area which had previously been searched.
During the search for Gabriel there were more than 2,600 volunteers and almost 1,500 professionals.
The Dominican Embassy expressed its condolences for the death of Gabriela and said that the whole Dominican society in Spain had been following the case very closely.
