A 6-year-old German boy led Spanish police Wednesday to a cave on the Canary island of Tenerife where they found the bodies of his mother and 10-year-old brother after apparently escaping his father and being found by hikers.

Authorities said the boy was spotted on Tuesday alone near the town of Adeje, covered in dirt and crying on the path. It is believed the boy had spent about 5 hours wandering alone before he was spotted, El Pais reported.

The hikers took the boy, who doesn’t speak Spanish and appeared to be in shock, to the Civil Guard station where a local resident helped translate.

The boy, which the Spanish newspaper identified as Jonas, told authorities through a translator that his father had led him and his family to a cave and attacked him. He said he was able to escape after seeing large quantities of blood.

Civil Guard arrested the 43-year-old father, who is also German and identified as Thomas Handrick by El Pais, in an apartment in downtown Adeje, a town of 43,000 residents in southwestern Tenerife.

He reportedly refused to say where the rest of his family was and became violent during the arrest.

The bodies of Shylvia, 39, and her 10-year-old son were located Wednesday afternoon in a cave between two ravines at the base of the Teide volcano, which towers over Tenerife Island.

The bodies had signs of violence, El Pais reported, citing anonymous investigation sources.

The mother and children had traveled from Germany to the Canary island on Monday to visit the father, who was living on there as a cook, according to the newspaper.

A local court that specializes in crimes against women has taken charge of the case and sealed the investigation, the Associated Press reported.

I can't tell which is which either and I'm not trying to joke about it. Honestly they both look like guys. But why kill your entire family, which it would have been if the little boy hadn't escaped.
