Overview

• José Antonio Otero Toraño, 60, was found in cardiorespiratory arrest in the corral of his home in Cueves (Ribadesella), and emergency crews certified his death after failed resuscitation.
• The Guardia Civil’s judicial police unit in Asturias is leading the investigation and states that no line of inquiry is ruled out.
• Widow María del Mar says two hooded men spoke Spanish, repeatedly asked where the money was, covered the victim’s head with a blanket, and knocked her to the floor before fleeing.
• Her remarks refine earlier statements from her sister, who recounted the victim’s last words, said the assailants spoke no words, and asserted that cash remained in the house.
• The victim was a well-known owner of Ganadería Maella with a sizable social‑media following, and relatives have described prior disputes and economic strain that they say they shared with investigators.
