At this time, a brutal crime shakes

Paraguay

after it became known yesterday that a woman found her two-year-old son dead and the other 14 missing when she returned from work, in the town of

Pedro Juan Caballero. 

It was around 5 p.m. yesterday, Wednesday, when the woman arrived at her house in the Bernardino Caballero neighborhood and found her little son 

lying on the bed and covered with a sheet.

 Was dead.

His other 14-year-old son, who had been left in the care of his little brother, was missing.

To complete the tremendous picture, next to the boy's body was a macabre note written on a school notebook sheet: “

I'm sorry, your son saw something he shouldn't see

.

We have the other oldest son ”.

The full text of the letter found next to the body of the two-year-old boy murdered in Juan Pedro Caballero.

They think his brother killed him.

After collapsing, the woman took the boy's body to the Pedro Juan Caballero Regional Hospital, but the little boy

had already been dead for several hours

, according to forensics.

The first hypothesis

of the Police was that unknown persons entered the residence and, after killing the child, proceeded to kidnap the adolescent.

However, suddenly everything changed when that idea was discarded thanks to the filming of a security camera in the area, in which it was seen that no one had entered the house.

In the recordings it is observed, yes, the older brother leaving the house alone with an unknown destination, according to the

Paraguayan newspaper La Nación.

The 14-year-old brother is missing and the Paraguayan police are looking for him intensely.

The images corroborated the account of the owner of the house where the family lives, who told the police that “at around 12 noon she saw both little brothers playing in the yard, then they re-entered the room, and that at about 3:30 pm he saw the older brother heading towards the street ”, according to

commissioner Hugo Díaz told local media.

"We presume that it was the minor who wrote the letter,"

the investigators noted.

According to the data, no signs of violence or sexual abuse were found on the boy's body, so the police believe that the suffocation was accidental or the product of some game.

The prosecutor in the case Reinalda Palacios

, ordered the seizure of the adolescent's notebooks to submit them to an expert opinion and thus determine if the letter was made in her own handwriting.

The 14-year-old is currently the main suspect in the death of his own brother, police said.

And the first signs would already be indicating that the letter was written by the missing teenager.

What happened inside the house?

It's a mystery.

They believe that it could have been that he killed him by mistake by playing, or that the murder responded to questions of hatred that the young man had not yet brought to light.

The forensic doctor estimated that the baby arrived at the hospital with a

cadaverous rigidity

of approximately four to five hours, so it is presumed that he died between one or two in the afternoon.

According to local media, the parents were separated and

the boys' mother crossed the border with Brazil every day

to go to work, so the boys were left alone.
