The murderer of elderly women in Catalonia arrested in Galicia for a new crime while on prison leave.

BarcelonaThe National Police are investigating whether Remedios Sánchez, who is serving a prison sentence in a Galician penitentiary for the murder of three elderly women in Catalonia twenty years ago, is the perpetrator of the violent death of another elderly woman, a homicide committed a few days ago in A Coruña. Investigators are trying to determine whether Remedios Sánchez committed a new crime while on prison leave.

According to Efe, the victim of the latest murder is a woman in her nineties who was found dead in her home. Initially, her death was treated as a natural death, but the autopsy has led to a twist: it is a homicide. Security cameras recorded Remedios Sánchez in this area of the city. On October 8, she was arrested and imprisoned again. According to reports The Voice of GaliciaIn July 2008, Sánchez was sentenced to 144 years in prison for three completed murders and seven attempted murders in Barcelona and Mataró. All of these murders took place in the summer of 2006, and Sánchez murdered the victims by strangling them. She always pretended she was going to help them and, after gaining the elderly women's trust, she ended up killing them. During the trial, two years after the crimes, psychiatrists ruled out any mental health disorder that this cook, who was fifty years old at the time, suffered from.

Until now, Remedios Sánchez had been sentenced to a second-degree prison sentence. This has allowed her to have several permits in recent months, following a long period without sanctions and with a favorable psychological evaluation from the prison.
