Lourdes and Rosario Malón were killed by forces loyal to Spain’s fascist dictator General Franco in 1936. Whilst looking for the remains of his aunts, Mariano discovered a corpse near the family home. But the DNA results shocked him. The body didn’t belong to one of his aunts, but a man who lived in the region during the Visigothic period over 1,500 years ago.
