How did the killing in Valencia occur?
The suspect entered the speech therapy office during a session involving his son. Upon entering the room, he found the child undressed, according to Notícias ao Minuto. This discovery led the man to attack and kill the therapist.
The man did not flee the scene for an extended period. He surrendered to authorities shortly after the crime, arriving with blood on his hands, according to Jornal SOL.
