Leaving the hearing, Brigada Morales, mother of the murdered woman and grandmother of the children was indignant, calling the case a joke.
In the accusation, the Public Prosecution Service state that Portorreal sexually abused his two stepdaughters, aged 6 and 10 and was afraid his partner would tell about it, which is why he decided to kill them.
