Overview
- The National Police central forensics unit reported that Echaguibel's DNA does not match the genetic profiles recovered from the jersey Helena Jubany wore when she was killed.
- The Sabadell investigating court had ordered the compelled DNA sampling of Echaguibel to compare against traces identified during the jersey reanalysis.
- Investigators confirmed a male DNA profile on the garment corresponding to Santiago Laiglesia, who is due to testify before the judge on 28 November.
- Advanced sequencing over several years identified multiple contributors on the jersey—two female and one male—with one female profile belonging to Jubany, Montse Careta excluded, and the remaining female profile unresolved.
- The Jubany family and the public prosecutor pushed to reopen comparisons to avoid prescription cliffs, and they now anticipate that Laiglesia's testimony could close the instruction and move the case toward an oral trial that also involves Xavi Jiménez.
