The first four deaths were recorded between September and October 2021;

the victims apparently died of natural causes.

His relationship with the suspect became known after the 43-year-old brother of one of the victims reported that money was being withdrawn from the accounts of the deceased, something that was repeated in the other cases, according to El País.
