At 21.27, Thomas arrived at the pier of the Puerto Deportivo Marina de la Cruz de Tenerife. There he made three trips from the car to the Esquilón boat to carry the bags with the girls’ bodies inside.

At 9:51 p.m., the girls’ mother called him and it was at that moment that the man told her that she would never see the girls again, nor would he see him again.

At 11:15 p.m. he returned to the port, where the Civil Guard agents sanctioned him for breaching the curfew imposed by Covid-19. The man went to his car to show the documents and told them that he was going to sleep on his boat.

As he ran out of battery, he took advantage and charged his cell phone in the car, then, after half an hour after midnight, he returned to his boat, set sail again and did not return to land.
