The adoptive mother, identified as the main organizer of the death, committed suicide in jail in 2020. Rosario was serving time for the murder and, after two attempts, he died. According to press reports and the series, the circumstances of her death also remain open.
Some theories argue that she was killed so that the true motivation for the crime would not be discovered. Others confirm the suicide and relate the fact to the psychological problems and depression that Rosario faced.
It is not known what motivated the crime or the subsequent suicide of Asunta’s adoptive mother. Part of the proposal for the Netflix miniseries is also to speculate on the reasons for the tragedy. Ramón Campos, one of the reporters who most investigated the crime, is one of the producers. Over six episodes, the Spanish series follows the investigation of police officers Cristina Cruces (María León) and Javier Ríos (Carlos Blanco) and shows the media coverage of the trial that shook the country.
What happened
Asunta (played by Iris Wu) was born in China and was adopted by the couple in 2001, when she was nine months old. Alfonso and Rosario were a wealthy and recognized couple: he, an economic journalist, and she, a lawyer and honorary consul of France. In 2013, the couple separated, sharing the girl’s care.
