This is how they approached to really check who it was, being surprised that he no longer had vital signs. In this way they proceeded to immediately inform the Police Station, so that they could go to the place to carry out the investigations.
Homicide victim
When the quadrant arrived, they corroborated the information and showed that this subject had been murdered, since he had different wounds caused by a knife. Among his most obvious injuries was a machete blow to the head, back and another blow to the wrist that nearly dismembered his hand.
For this reason, the patrol cordoned off the area so that the crime scene would not be altered while the forensic team arrived to carry out the respective survey. At the scene, they began investigations and the collection of clues that would help clarify what happened.
The investigations
The strange thing about the case is that no inhabitant saw anything or heard anything. Furthermore, the deceased was completely unknown in El Juncal, so he was taken as a NN to the Institute of Legal Medicine.
