Valentina’s mother makes new revelations: “They killed my daughter to shut her up” – Portugal

“It remains to be seen why, but what I think is that they killed my daughter because she saw something in that house and so they shut her up.” The words are from Sónia Fonseca, Valentina’s mother, murdered by her father and stepmother in May, at the family home in Atouguia da Baleia, Peniche. The child was tortured with boiling water, beaten and left to die on a sofa. He was in agony for 13 hours until he couldn’t take it anymore. The autopsy report reveals serious injuries to the nine-year-old girl’s body.

In an interview with SIC, Sónia Fonseca guarantees that she never distrusted her ex-partner and Márcia. “I spoke to my daughter on Mother’s Day [3 de maio], a few days before she died and she said to me: ‘Goodbye, kisses. Mom, you’re a pain, I like you a lot! ‘ It was my girl’s last words “, continues Sónia.

Sónia admits that she learned of her daughter’s death from the news. “I was watching television, I heard that there were two detainees and, suddenly, they talk about a body. I went staggering to my aunt’s house”, he recalls.

Apparently, Valentina liked to be with her father and stepmother, although in April last year she ran away from their home, missing her mother. “She always came home from her father’s house and called Marcia a second mother. I never saw her bruises, anything that caught my attention. I don’t understand”, concludes Sónia.

Sandro and Márcia are in pre-trial detention for murder and concealment of a corpse.
