The Guardia Civil has arrested one of the daughters of Javier Sánchez, former secretary of the Unión de Agricultores y Ganaderos de Aragón (UAGA), and his wife, Esther Latorre, after their bodies were discovered at home in Tauste last Friday. Both victims had clear signs of violence, prompting a criminal investigation in the town in Zaragoza province.
Sources from the Guardia Civil say the daughter and her current partner, a Colombian national, were detained on Monday as suspected perpetrators of the double homicide. Officers found the bodies late Saturday night, and investigators are examining the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
Investigators are piecing together the events that led to the deaths. Forensic teams have examined the family residence for evidence that could establish the sequence of events. The suspects are expected to appear before the Tribunal de Instancia in Ejea de los Caballeros in the coming days.
The case has drawn attention in Aragón because of Javier Sánchez's public profile in the agricultural sector. The investigation remains active, as officers work to establish the circumstances of the deaths and follow the required legal procedures.
Spanish law requires suspects to be brought before a judge within 72 hours of arrest, providing judicial oversight early in criminal proceedings. Cases involving deaths in a small community can also attract close attention from local and national media.
