The Bretón case: the ashes of revenge

La Vanguardia publishes every Wednesday of the month of August in its complete format some of the best episodes of Dossier Negro that were delivered in parts. The reader will thus enjoy the narration of each case as a whole and without interruptions.

He proclaimed himself an exemplary father but his obsessive mind had no qualms about hatching a plan to punish his wife through his own children. José Bretón was arrested in 2002 accused of having killed his two little ones, aged six and two, and of having burned their bodies on a family farm. The defendant denied it, but the evidence was piling up against him. A confidence during a prison visit would turn the case around.

All the rivers of passion flow into the black chronicle: desire, greed, jealousy, anger, hate, love, greed, ambition... There are no stories only of good and bad. There are stories full of nuances, half-truths, strengths and weaknesses, innocence and cruelty.

Dossier Negro is a biweekly black chronicle podcast. You can also find its chapters on podcast platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts or Google Podcasts.
