Dad ‘slit the throat of his toddler’s speech therapist’ after child found ‘semi-naked’

A 24-year-old dad has been arrested after he allegedly slit the throat of a speech therapist after finding his two-year-old son with his pants down and no nappy on in the appointment

A dad handed himself in to police with blood on his hands after allegedly killing a speech therapist following catching his toddler son without a nappy on during the appointment.

The 24-year-old dad allegedly slit the throat of his toddler’s speech therapist after discovering the youngster “semi-naked”. He was arrested by police with blood still on his hands after handing himself in to officers following the fatal stabbing.

He reportedly told detectives he had attacked the 32-year-old victim after leaving his two-year-old son briefly to smoke a cigarette in the street and returning to find him with his trousers down and no nappy on.

The suspect, named locally only by his first name and the initials of his two surnames as David G.S, is said to have started beating the speech therapist after he refused his demand to show him cameras in his clinic. He then fatally wounded him with a knife that he reportedly already had in his possession.

The victim is understood to have died at the centre in the east coast Spanish city of Valencia yesterday afternoon (June 15) after having his throat slit.

Witnesses who overheard the row that preceded the stabbing have told investigators the knifeman yelled at the health professional: “Either you show me the cameras or I’ll kill you.”

The murder suspect drove back to his home on the outskirts of Valencia before heading to a police station and confessing his horror crime, saying he had killed his little boy’s “abuser.”

Officers found the stab victim lying in a pool of blood at his clinic after hearing the admission.

The area was later taped off by police as forensic experts carried out an inspection.

A post-mortem is due to take place later today. It is expected to show the university-educated speech therapist died from a slash wound to his neck which caused him to go into hypovolemic shock and lose more than 20% of his body’s blood.

It is not yet clear whether the suspect will appear before an investigating judge today, or tomorrow after a second night in police custody.

He will almost certainly be remanded to a local prison following his court appearance which will take place behind closed doors as is normal in Spain where only trials take place in public.
