Escalero, Francisco

Francisco Garcia Escalero was born on May 24, 1954 in Madrid . From childhood, Garisa was often sick and had strange behaviors. Escalero often skipped school, preferring instead to torture animals and walk around the cemetery. The father of the future killer was a very strict man, and subjected his son to beating for the slightest fault. At the age of 16, Garcia was expelled from school for absenteeism and inappropriate behavior, and only a few months later, for masturbation in a public place, Garcia first went to a psychiatric hospital where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia .

However, a few years later he was released admitting that he was safe for himself and others. Soon, Escalero committed a series of thefts and thefts of a motorcycle , for which he was first sent to prison at the age of 19, in 1973 . Released in 1975 , Escalero after several weeks in a state of intoxication, together with several friends, committed a group rape of a minor, for which he was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Having been released early in early 1984, Escalero was unable to return home, as a result of which he began to BOM in Madrid. As a result of social degradation, Garcia began to abuse alcohol and drugs, as a result of which, against the background of schizophrenia, he began to develop voice and visual hallucinations, attacks of aggression and anger. ^[2]
