The body of Helena Jubany was thrown from the roof of a building Calvet d’Estrella street in Sabadell on the morning of December 2, 2001. Since that day, his family has been trying to find who did it.
Both the prosecutor’s office and the lawyer Benet Salellas, who defends the interests of the Jubany Salellas family, and the National Police –in charge of the investigations– requested that new proceedings be carried out. The most striking, explained by Salellas, was to recover clothes that belonged to Jubany to check if now, thanks to new technologies, biological remains of Jiménez appear in these pieces.

If DNA remains that do not belong to Jubany are detected, as has been the case, the next step has already been advanced, which would be contrast it with the genetic material of a sample from Jiménez.
Jiménez entered the radar of justice in injury time, when they were missing few hours for the prescription to make him untouchable. A new judge from Sabadell reopened the case, after 15 years in torpor.
