Police in Córdoba are continuing the intensive search for two brothers, aged six years and two years, who went missing on Saturday but have so far found no trace of the youngsters.
The two boys, who usually live with their mother in Huelva, travelled to Córdoba with their father on Friday. Córdoba is home to the paternal grandparents and uncles of the two boys.
Police are trying to recreate the journey which took the boys took with their father from their home in Huelva, with the consent of their mother, to the city of Córdoba on Friday. The parents are currently in the midst of separation proceedings.
The boys were reported missing at 18:40 on Saturday while playing in a park just outside Córdoba and a police search was initiated. Yesterday, the search concentrated on an area around the rio Guadalquivir but no trace of the children was found.
Forensic experts from Madrid and Sevilla are also analysing samples taken at the home of children’s paternal grandfather, where the father has been living since the start of separation procedures.
On Sunday, the mother of the children filed a complaint of psychological abuse against the father. The complaint apparently only related to marital issues as the children were not named in the complaint.
