In the history of Spanish murders regarding police officers as slayers, the name Rosa Peral will always be remembered.
Netflix’s Rosa Peral’s Tapes,’ AKA ‘Las Cintas de Rosa Peral,’ primarily revolves around the perspective shared by Rosa Peral, who has been convicted for the murder of Pedro Rodríguez.
Burning Body, released on September 8, 2023, is also a Spanish Netflix drama series and a real life story about the chilling murder of the Spanish police officer.
The charred remains of Pedro are found inside a burnt-out car; the discovery triggers an investigation into a network of toxic relationships, deceit, infidelity, violence, and sexual scandals involving Pedro and two fellow police officers who were having an affair.
While these movies have brought back memories of this horror crime by convicted murderer Peral, many are curious to know more about her personal and family lives. Read on for more about her daughters, parents, husband, and partners.
Rosa Peral is a former Spanish police officer who gained notoriety due to her alleged involvement in a murder case in Barcelona.
Peral is currently serving her sentence in jail over the death of her co-worker, Pedro Rodríguez.
The incident is said to be entangled in a love triangle, with Peral allegedly having a romantic involvement with another individual named Albert López.
Apparently, there is a sinister plot cooked up by Pedro’s ex Rosa Peral and her lover Albert Lopez, who conspired to brutally kill his love rival.
She has been the subject of a Netflix documentary titled “Rosa Peral’s Tapes” and a miniseries called “Burning Body.”
“Rosa Peral’s Tapes” is a documentary on Netflix that features exclusive interviews with Rosa Peral from prison. It provides insights into her life and her involvement in the murder case.
“Burning Body” is a fictional miniseries on Netflix based on the events of Rosa Peral’s life and the murder case. It adds a dramatized perspective to the story.
Convicted murderer Rosa Peral’s exact age is unknown, however, it is assumed she was born between 1980 and 1990, making her currently 33 to 43 years old.
Rosa was born to parents Francisco Peral and Mrs. Peral.
Her mom and dad’s occupation as well as other details are unknown to the media.
It is known that Rosa Peral’s father is a neighbor and a corporal from Guàrdia Urbana, Spain. He was interviewed several times.
In the midst of her tough journey, Rosa Peral’s father remained by her side, pouring his support and trust in her. He mostly visits her in prison.
Following Rosa’s arrest on May 14, 2017, her mom struggled with her health and the added strain of her daughter’s legal battle certainly could not have been easy for her. Since Rosa’s sentencing in July 2020, which dictated that she had to spend 25 years in prison, her mother has passed away, a loss that Francisco continues to grieve even today, Cinemaholic reports.
Rosa Peral’s siblings are not available on the internet, making it unknown whether or not he has brothers and sisters.
Per The Cinemaholic, Rosa Peral started relationship at an early age. By 16 years, she had met a man named Ruben in a club and the duo started a dating.
Though she claimed she had initially rebuffed his flirtations, they soon started to talk and became a couple.
In the initial phase of her relationship, she was thrilled to have a partner who could drive as she herself did not have a license and immensely enjoyed his company. As time passed, Rosa apparently believed herself to be in love with Ruben and thought of him as the man of her dreams.
Although not offically confirmed, Ruben was Rosa Peral’s first love and the duo even married.
The couple would have two daughters together.
While the Ruben and Peral were still together, their relationship soon started to deteriorate, with Rosa growing closer to her work partner, Albert López.
Aside from Albert, she also had affair with a sub-inspector named Oscar. The man in question had allegedly leaked explicit images of her to her contact by hacking her email in 2008.
These extramarital affairs gradually died-off her ‘marriage’ with Ruben.
Though Rosa found herself happy in Albert’s company, she kept her daughters as her first priority. This, she claimed in the Netflix documentary, is one of the main reasons why she separated from Albert, as he had apparently not wished to settle down and have a family while Rosa already had one she cared much about.
Hence, when she met Pedro Rodríguez, she felt like he might be the one, given his eagerness to connect with Rosa’s daughters.
Indeed, Pedro seemed to have a good relationship with both girls and even went with them on a skiing trip around two months before his death.
Rosa revealed that Ruben had wanted to form a bond with her daughters that was unique in nature. He did not have a desire to be a father to them, respecting Ruben’s role in their life, nor did he want to be an uncle. Instead, he was referred to as “Titi” by Rosa’s daughters.
According to Rosa, the safety of her daughters led her to do as Albert said when he allegedly came by her home and started to threaten her. She claimed that this was the reason why she drove where she was asked, despite her former partner being in a different vehicle, and why she had come forward with her information to the investigators over ten days after the death of Pedro.
One of the most critical pieces of evidence presented against Rosa during her trial was supposed to be testimony given by Antonia, Ruben’s partner at the time. The witness in question claimed that one of Rosa’s daughters had given her information that implied that Rosa had drugged Pedro on the night of his death.
Antonia added that the girl had mimicked Pedro’s actions when he was allegedly under the influence. However, the minor’s guardian at the time exercised her right not to testify against her own mother, making Antonia’s testimony verbal recollection of the incident void in the court, though she was indeed asked to mimic how the girl had acted when describing Pedro. In the documentary, Rosa remained firm that Antonia fabricated this piece of information, as her daughters could not have told her something that apparently never happened.
Rosa Peral is a mother of two daughters and shares them with her first partner, Ruben.
Given their status as minors, the identities of Rosa Peral’s daughters have been kept under wraps.
Given the attention the case received in the Spanish media, the scrutiny the girls would have gone under would undoubtedly have been significant.
With Rosa Peral having been sentenced to 25 years in prison, it is likely that her daughters now live with their father, Ruben. However, they are still in touch with their mother and visit her monthly in the company of Francisco Peral, Rosa’s father.
