DNA remains of two people found in a sweater worn by the victim on the day of the crime

The Scientific Police have found DNA traces of two people in the clothes that Helena Jubany was wearing on the day of her murder. The victim’s relatives had asked the judge to order a new analysis of the clothes worn by the young woman in case the new techniques could find any sample that until now had gone unnoticed. Thus, after analyzing the victim’s hair and clothing, the police laboratory has found in the jersey an “inconclusive” mixture of “at least two people,” says the letter sent to the judge and that the journalist from the Crims program has advanced from TV3, Carles Porta. Being inconclusive and with the aim of comparing it, the judge has summoned for this Wednesday the only accused in the case, Xavi Jiménez, Jubany’s partner in the Unió Excursionista de Sabadell, to take samples and thus be able to compare them with those obtained in the clothes.

Jiménez is one of the main suspects in the murder of Helena Jubany. The judge attributes an “active participation” in the crime. The 27-year-old, who worked as a librarian in Sentmenat, was drugged and thrown off the roof of a building in Sabadell on December 2, 2001. The judge, however, considers that Jiménez did not act alone and believes that in the events involved more than one person. He points to the members of the Unió Excursionista de Sabadell, an entity in which the victim participated, as responsible for the anonymous letters that Jubany received months before his murder and that were accompanied by two drinks that were adulterated with benzodiazepines, the same substance with which that she was drugged before being thrown into the void.

The judge, in his last order, pointed out that “the transfer of the victim to the roof had to be carried out by several people who would have acted in a coordinated manner.” “The place where Jubany’s body was found resided Montse Careta (who committed suicide in prison after being arrested) and Santi Laiglesa, members of the organization and friends of the victim.” And he added that “it is significant how the two anonymous would have been made by at least two people and it cannot be excluded that these or other subjects intervened in their preparation and placement.”
