9-year-old Valentina's body found lifeless in Peniche: father admits murder

The Portuguese Judicial Police said in a statement that two people suspected of being involved in the death of the child have been arrested: It is said to be the father and stepmother of Valentina. It was the father who allegedly confessed to her murder and who led the police to the places where they left the little girl.

"For the development of the investigation, close coordination with the Republican National Guard and the district civil protection was essential and the body of the victim was found dead."

The body of Valentina, the missing girl in the Peniche region, was found dead on Sunday under branches of a eucalyptus tree. The cause of death is asphyxiation, but only an autopsy can provide certainty. She will be carried out in the coming days to determine exactly the cause of death and whether she has suffered any other facts.

The judicial police, who were already investigating the case, said earlier that in 2018 the child had disappeared from another house where the family resided in the municipality, and was then found by the police.
