The boy was said to be suffocated in the bathroom of his father’s house, in Atouguia da Baleia, last Wednesday night. The body was transported to Serra d’El-Rei and covered in bushes.The preliminary autopsy showed signs of suffocation and head injuries. The thesis of the accident was excluded.

The testimony of a half brother was decisive for the investigations carried out by the Judicial Police on the ground..

The preliminary autopsy indicated that the girl was suffocated. This is not the final report yet. However, the causes of the child’s death can already be pointed out: Valentina was a victim of violence.

The president of the Child Support Institute believes that Valentina’s escape from her father’s house a year ago was devalued. Dulce Rocha defends that, in a phase of pandemic, with schools closed, it is necessary to increase the vigilance of children.

In turn, the president of the parish council of Atouguia da Baleia, Afonso Claro, affirms that the population that participated in the searches feels that they were deceived by the child’s father.
