Villaruel resided at the 5th street, Five Rivers, Arouca since the last three years and added he could not have done anything more for his child because he had no contact with her.
Shannon also said that he found out about her murder from his brother, who rushed to his house upon hearing the development.
According to the police, on Monday night, the child's mother came running to the police station and said that she needed help. She reported that her common-law husband abused her and kept her 4-year-old child hostage.

Senior Superintendent Richard Smith also said that on witnessing the brutal scene, some of his officers broke down and cried, and some are so traumatised that they need counselling.
Meanwhile, the officials have arrested the 39-year-old suspect, who the neighbours described as always quiet, a bit odd but never violent.Latest
