Teen Brothers Arrested in Spain for Murder of Adoptive Mother
The siblings, aged 13 and 15, are accused of stabbing their mother to death in their home in Castro Urdiales, Spain.
- Two adopted teenagers were arrested in Spain on accusations of murdering their adoptive mother, Silvia López Gayubas, who was found dead with a bag over her head and a stab wound in her neck.
- The boys, of Eastern European descent, allegedly faked a kidnapping before being found by police hiding in the cliffs of Castro Urdiales.
- Authorities have not released a motive for the crime, and the boys have not confessed to their mother's murder.
- There were no reports of prior domestic issues at the home, and the husband was reported to be 'devastated' by the news.
- The eldest child has been placed in closed confinement for six months, while the youngest, too young to be charged, awaits a psychosocial examination.
