Last time he was seen alive Wafaa Sebbah It was November 17, 2019. She was 19 years old and it was natural Pobla Llarga (Valencia). 18 months later, his body was found lifeless in a well in the Valencian town of Carcaixent thanks to the confessions of his murderer, a young man with a long criminal record.
The only one who knew its location was David30 years old, with a history of abuse and suspected of being involved in drug trafficking. In Valencia it is called El Tuvi, He has a brother convicted of double murder and was at the time linked to Jorge Ignaciothe murderer of Marta Calvo.
The trial for this tragic assassination began this Tuesday in Valencia and El Tuvi defended before the jury that he had no intention of harming the victim. “I grabbed her neck to pull her down and when I saw her dead, I was scared.“He then picked up the body and threw it into a well.
David risks a permanent and reviewable prison sentence, as requested by the prosecution, for the crime of murder with treason and an additional eight years in prison for sexual assault, acts which he considers to have committed with the aggravating circumstances of gender and of racial discrimination.
For their part, the private accusations represented by Wafaa’s family – the lawyers Juan Carlos Navarro, Jesus Ruiz and Isabel Carricondo– They also demand a permanent reviewable prison sentence and 33 years in prison for those accused of the murder, rape and kidnapping of the young girl as well as the illicit possession of weapons.
The defense, however, asks for free absolution for his client by alleging that at the time of committing the acts, the young man suffered from a serious personality disorder due to a car accident that he suffered in 2015 and which caused him serious head trauma.
Furthermore, the disorders he suffered from were a consequence of the cocaine and alcohol he regularly consumed, as was stated during the trial.
In his statement this Tuesday, El Tuvi responded, only to his lawyer’s questions, that he had a “complicated” for his car accident and that he had no “problems” with women, according to information provided by Europe Press.
The accused worked in a family fruit store and explained that Wafaa was a friend of his. According to him, he sometimes lent her money or invited her to eat.
“She asked me“. According to his story, he was not attracted to her. “I never asked her to be my partner or anything. “I didn’t look down on her either.”
“She had a strong character and sometimes she got angry with me.“, he said. Regarding the crime, he explained that “the idea was to meet her and spend the day.”
“I didn’t plan to harm her, sexually assault her or shoot her with the pellet gun,” he said.
That day, they drank alcohol and took drugs and she asked him for 1,000 euros, again according to her version.
“I told her I couldn’t, that I was saving for a house and that I knew she wouldn’t give them back to me. She got angry, insulted me and hit me. J I tried to calm her down, we fought and I grabbed her by the neck to hold her back. He collapsed, I took his drink and saw he didn’t have any. I was scared. I had an anxiety attack and I didn’t know what to do with it.“.
“An accident”
According to his version, “it was an accident and a misfortune, I didn’t wish that on him. I knew it was going to hurt me and I decided to transport his body to another place, to another chalet.”
“I put duct tape over her face because I was sad to see her dead and I tied her wrists because I was confused.. “I took off her pants and sneakers and dropped her into the well above, which had water in it.”
A few days later, he returned to the family home several times to see if the body was still in the well and found that it was floating. Then he threw objects at her to crush her body, such as stones or tiles, and shot her with a pellet gun.
Instead, the prosecutor in charge of the case requests a permanent prison sentence which can be revised to an additional eight years for the rape. This gives no credibility to your version.
In his initial indictment, the prosecutor indicated that the brutal murder took place to hide the sexual assault because the young woman refused to have relations with him.
In this way, the Public Prosecutor’s Office intends that the aggravating circumstance due to gender and also race be taken into account in the trial since during the investigation numerous messages were found in which the accused harassed the young woman because that she was a woman and because she was North African. .
This is not the first time that El Tuvi’s family has faced this situation.
According to the newspaper Elevator-EMVhas a brother named Juan, six years older and also knows what it is to kill.
Specifically, he is currently serving a sentence for a double murder: in 2012, he stabbed to death Kamil K., a 28-year-old Czech, and strangled Sidonia S., a 25-year-old Slovakian.
