Starting this Monday, the Second Division of the Granada Regional Court will prosecute the crime in Los Yesos, a town in Sorbilan in the Costa tropics, in the popular jury format. In this case, in 2022, the owner of the farmhouse was tortured along with his lover, his throat was cut, and he was also sexually assaulted. In fact, four young people have been charged and face charges from prosecutors that include permanent and reviewable prison terms. For two of them.
This is stated in the preliminary conclusions of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, seen by Agence Europa Press, which details that on April 20, 2022, the defendants, aged between 32 and 22 (two of whom are Moroccan nationals and were in an abnormal administrative situation at the time of the incident), were charged with murder, illegal detention, and robbery with assault in a dwelling, sexual assault, assault, and illegal possession of weapons. and against road safety, all of which involve the even worse situation of falsification.
The trial is scheduled for November 10th to 14th. That afternoon, the four defendants allegedly decided to “go to the farmhouse by mutual agreement after several days of planning in the hope of increasing their assets” and “deduct everything of value.”
To do this, and to finalize the details of the plan and how it would be carried out, the four men met at the homes of two of them and were scheduled to depart around 6:30 p.m. The occupants of the vehicle were “all dressed in black to avoid being seen and were equipped with balaclavas, gloves, duct tape, two machetes, a revolver and a homemade pistol.”
Half an hour later, after apparently forcing open the farmhouse’s side window, they agreed, and the owners arrived around 8 p.m. After a “violent” struggle to “force their way into the premises,” they “tied his hands and feet with adhesive tape, made him sit on a chair, covered his head with clothes,” and began torturing him, demanding “money.”
About 20 minutes later, her companions arrived and although they did not hit her, they did the same before moving her to bed, where they would sexually assault her in the presence of two others who were “willing to accompany them”.
Similarly, given that the man “claimed he had no money, the defendant became angry and frustrated at not being able to accomplish his goal and decided to carry out his threat and end his life by lifting him from the chair he was sitting in” and “taking him to the bathroom, where he was lying face down in the bathtub without any restraints,” where he would torture him again and then slit his throat “even as he reached for the bottle of bleach.” on his face.
As prosecutors detailed, two defendants physically carried out the act under unusual circumstances, while the other two remained “in a passive and alarmed manner at the farmhouse porch,” even though they “both heard the pleas and cries” of the man who was dying, accepting “the consequences.”
The four men in the temporary prison for these incidents wrapped the body “in a duvet” and moved it to the “back” of the van in which the men arrived, then with their partners carried out the same cleaning procedure, drove the car to a ravine, “where they dumped the body in their arms down a very steep slope and left it there.”
Life in prison for murder after rape
The Crown Prosecution Service is interested in reconsiderable permanent prison terms for two alleged accomplices in the murder of a 29-year-old woman, which would have been committed after a crime against the victim’s sexual freedom.
The aggravating factor of a past crime being committed to “avoid detection” is also taken into account, but in this case it is the couple’s past violent death, which is the bulk of the remaining facts to be determined. They likely did so to “leave no witnesses” and “avoid detection,” prosecutors detailed.
In this regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not take into account the aggravating circumstances of the brutality, as in the case of this man, but the treachery, as in his alleged murder, and the prosecution is requesting a total of 25 years’ imprisonment for these two under extraordinary circumstances.
The prosecutor’s office recommended that the two Spaniards, aged 32 and 22, be sentenced to 12 years in prison for the man’s murder and 22 years in prison for the woman’s murder.
decades of imprisonment
The sentences for these two young men complete a 16-year sentence for two counts of burglary with assault in a resident’s home and related unlawful detention, and the sentences for these crimes for the other two defendants are similar, with a 14-year sentence for an alleged sexual assault.
This request reduces the prison sentences for the two state defendants as co-defendants to six and a half years. All were sentenced to three years in prison for causing bodily harm and two and a half years for illegally possessing a weapon. Finally, one of the two Moroccans was fined 6,480 euros by the Ministry of Public Affairs for alleged violations of road safety.
In summary, regarding the prison term requested by the Prosecutor’s Office, the two defendants in unusual circumstances will be sentenced to reconsiderable life imprisonment and an additional 60 and a half years, while the Spaniard will receive a total of 62 years in prison.
