The Asunta Case | Adopted, Drugged, Killed

In 2013, 12-year-old Asunta Basterra Porto was found dead on a quiet rural path in Galicia, Spain. Adopted from China as a baby by two affluent and seemingly devoted parents, Rosario Porto and Alfonso Basterra, Asunta appeared to have a bright and promising future. But behind the picture-perfect façade was a story far more sinister. In this week’s episode of RedHanded, we dive deep into one of Spain’s most shocking and divisive true crime cases. How could this happen to a child so loved? Why was Asunta being drugged for months before her death? What secrets were her adoptive parents hiding? And did the justice system truly get it right? We unravel the timeline, bizarre behaviour, motive, and media frenzy that turned this tragic case into a national obsession.
