Jury finds killer of Maialen and her twin daughters guilty

Published on May 16, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The jury has issued a verdict of guilty of murder with treachery against Maialen's husband, who was pregnant with twin girls. The evidence showed that the accused acted with premeditation and advantage over the victim, a case that has shaken society. The final sentence will be announced in the coming days.

Forensic technology key in convicting the accused 🔍

The analysis of the accused's mobile devices, along with his vehicle's GPS, allowed reconstructing his movements on the night of the crime. Computer forensics experts found searches on methods to induce premature labor and selective data deletion. The fingerprint on the murder weapon, cross-checked with biometric databases, closed the evidentiary circle. Without these digital tools, proving treachery would have been more difficult.

The accused planned the crime better than a move 😅

Apparently, the husband spent more time planning the murder than preparing for the arrival of the twins. He searched for tutorials on cleaning evidence, but forgot that the phone saves every last click. If he had applied that same meticulousness to buying diapers, perhaps today he would be discussing names instead of a sentence. Justice, sometimes, is more effective than an antivirus.
