Last year, on November 28, Joan Jubany Itxart was among the family and friends waiting at the door of the Sabadell courts to hear a key decision from the case judge. That day, the investigating judge took a statement from Santi Laiglesia, whom the family has always considered the main suspect in the crime. After that appearance, the judge decided to send him to provisional prison, which was a key step for the investigation, which had been reopened in 2021, although a few weeks later the Barcelona Court released him.Helena Jubany was murdered on December 2, 2001, and her body was thrown from the rooftop into the inner courtyard of a building when she was in a "deep sleep or coma" due to having ingested toxic substances. They did this after undressing her and burning her in different parts of her body. Initially, the case was closed in 2005.
