The agents of the Civil Guard who arrested Francisco Javier Almeida found him on the landing of the second floor of the building where he resided with the unconscious little Álex in his arms, as he could know the world of sources of research.
The agents suspect that he was arranged at that time to get rid of the child and that he was probably directed with him to the garage, where he had the vehicle parked.
Just at that time, he was intercepted by the neighbors, agents of the Civil Guard and a local policeman.
One of the agents, the child removed the alleged killer and tried to revive him.
Almeida did not react and her look lost.
The researchers suspect that he could strangle the child shortly earlier in him, because the minor presented marks in the neck area.
Álex died by suffocation, an extreme that must confirm the autopsy.

The alleged author of the death of Alex was installed in the building, located on Río Linares, in Lardero (La Rioja), after being released at April 2020 and occupied a house on the third floor, from where I could see
Perfectly both the College Villa Patro and the park where Álex disappeared and where, according to the declarations of the neighbors, some girls who invited him to accompany him to his house with the hook that he was going to show his little birds.
