THE MURDER CASE OF GARCIA SIBLINGS
"Why are you trying to bring back the case that has been buried in oblivion?!" Our boss asked him in an angry tone.
"I promise you, Chief. In this case, real justice is not really obtained," Erwin explained to him as I sat next to the chief and just listened to them.
While they argued, I looked at the papers Erwin had given to the chief and I laughed at the case I read. Because of my laughter they both stopped arguing and I looked at Erwin with a mixture of teasing.
"The Murder Case Of Garcia Siblings 1965. Seriously, Erwin? This case was 56 years ago and the suspect also passed away a long time ago. So what's your point for reopening this case? Are you losing your mind?" I said sarcastically.
"If you help me, you will know my point," he insisted.
"Ok i will help you in this case but make sure i get something good. Because otherwise, you can leave as a police and consult a psychiatrist immediately," I uttered.
"Let's open this case chief," I took the paper that needed to be signed and I handed it to our chief.
Chief rubbed his forehead and he took a deep breath. "Okay fine, dammit!" he shouted and took the paper I was holding then he quickly signed it.
While I was at Erwin’s house, I sat on the sofa and picked up the papers scattered on his desk.
The content of the papers was information about the deaths of the three Garcia sisters.
Based on what i read, the Garcia family is rich and they are known to be a happy family but everyone’s shocked when the news came out that Pau Lino Garcia killed his three own dauthers. Pau pleaded guilty but the high court still sentenced him to the death penalty. The evidence held by the court was strong that he was caught with another woman and his dauthers knew it so that is why he killed his own dauthers Caryll, Luisa and Synxin. And the evidence grew stronger when the servants saw him with his three dauthers before they were killed.Three siblings died of resultant multiple injuries. But the investigation noticed that before they were killed they went through torture. Because Caryl lost her tongue or was amputated, Luisa had both her ears cut and Synxin had no eyes.
This is the very brutal murder.
"January 11, 1965. Pau Lino Garcia was sentenced to death. The court sentenced the innocent man," he said and sat down on the adjacent sofa.
"How can you say that person is innocent? The evidence is strong that he killed his own dauthers!" I said sarcastically as I pressed my index finger on the paper on the table.
"Because he's my grandfather and my grandmother was his mistress. My grandmother died at the age of 89 but before she died she gave me this notebook. She told me to clear my grandfather’s name," he said and he placed the notebook on the table which I immediately picked up and read.
What was written in the notebook was her grandmother's diary, it records how the two of them met until they fell in love. Their love was happy until they were caught by Pau's three dauthers Caryll, Luisa and Synxin. The two secretly fought their love until their love came to fruition. But unfortunately Pau gave up his love and chose to return to the family to be with his dauthers.
"Pau's love for his dauthers could not be matched by any value even if he gave up his love for me," I read the last part of his grandmother’s writing and I looked at him.
"He loves his dauthers so much, this is why I believe it wasn’t grandpa who killed them," he insisted.
"If he didn’t kill his daughters, then who?" I asked in astonishment.
