English Edition Dear readers, The headlines in Spain were dominated this week by the tragic killing of eight-year-old Spanish boy Gabriel Cruz, who was strangled at the hands of his father's girlfriend, Ana Julia Quezada. The facts of the extraordinary case emerged as the week progressed, with the victim's mother capturing the attention of the country thanks to her dignity and humanity in the face of such tragedy. In other news, there was a blow to Spain after a Strasbourg ruling found that burning pictures of the Spanish king should not be punishable by the courts, while the royal family was also a subject of interest, with King Felipe's brother-in-law coming ever closer to being sent to prison. And finally meet Lucas and Mateo, transsexual twins from Málaga who have taken their story public via a series of YouTube videos, in a bid to raise awareness of transgender issues.
