The report specifies that the 21-year-old inmate resides in Maniabón and had no criminal record or employment relationship. “The process will be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the legal regulations,” the note added.

However, no clarification has been offered so far on the discrepancy in surnames.
Méndez Castelló said in his report that Diéguez, a neighbor of the boy’s family, had murdered him to take his cell phone, a motive that seems implausible given the circumstances. The two of them had gone out together on Sunday morning to “hunt with slingshots.”
