The city of Jaén is shocked by the death of two teenage friends, whose lifeless bodies were discovered around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 30, in the Parque de la Concordia, located in the center of the provincial capital. According to investigation sources, the girls, aged 15 and 16, were found by family members and showed no evident signs of external violence.
The Judicial Brigade of the National Police has begun the inquiries, ruling out third-party involvement for now and considering suicide as the likely cause, pending autopsy confirmation. The court has imposed a secrecy order on the proceedings. The 112 Emergency Service received an alert from an individual about the possible death of two young people, mobilizing National Police, Local Police, firefighters, and medical services, who confirmed the deaths.
Jaén's City Council has declared three days of official mourning, from Saturday night until Tuesday, December 2, with flags at half-mast. On Monday at 12:00 p.m., a minute of silence will be observed in front of the Town Hall in memory of the minors.
