About

Julián is a resident of Hornachos, Badajoz, Spain, who recently confessed to the murder of Francisca Cadenas, who disappeared in May 2017. He and his brother, Manuel, were arrested after an investigation by the UCO (Unidad Central Operativa) revealed their involvement in Cadenas' disappearance. Julián, the younger of the two, confessed to the crime, exonerating his brother. The brothers are now newsworthy due to the resolution of a nine-year-old cold case that haunted the small town of Hornachos. Recent developments include the revelation of incriminating evidence found at their home and the confession itself. Following their arrest, Julián and Manuel were reportedly attacked in prison and subsequently transferred. The case highlights the effectiveness of the police investigation and brings closure to a long-standing mystery, though some questions remain unanswered.
