The González brothers Julián and Manuel, known as 'El Negro' and 'El Pajarraco', are suspected of murdering their neighbor Francisca Cadenas. The crime is believed to have occurred on May 9, 2017.

The authorities discovered Francisca Cadenas' body buried under the patio of the González brothers' home. The Guardia Civil found the body on March 11, 2026, almost nine years after the crime was committed.

At the crime scene, the Guardia Civil found evidence including zip ties, a gag and a chainsaw with blood traces, suggesting the violence used in the murder.

The González brothers are now accused of the homicide of Francisca Cadenas, whose body remained buried for nearly nine years until its discovery by the authorities.
