The young man accused of murder of retired teacher in his apartment, David MC, admitted this Tuesday to being the author of the events, even if he avoided specifying the reasons: “I don’t know why I killed him.”
This is what he declared in his jury court statement constituted in the fifth section of the Provincial Court of Pontevedra, whose headquarters is in the city of olives.
The Prosecutor is the only one to have questioned the accused, who admitted that “the facts collected are true” in the public indictment document: that he killed Benito TS on the night of December 28 to 29, 2021 by hitting his head with a marble ball then cutting his neck and inflicting 21 wounds on him with a knife kitchen.
David MC also admitted that he posed as the victim to contact your bank by telephone and request a credit extension on your cards. With these cards, in the following days, he made expenses of more than 17,000 euros.
The defendant was arrested on January 4, 2022 after being surprised in a traffic control of the Civil Guard in Silleda (Pontevedra), driving in a car he had bought with the deceased’s money and carrying Benito’s cards and other documents TS
After completing the Prosecutor’s questioning, the two specific charges like the defense They gave up asking questions. However, the jury asked itself a few questions: why he killed him and what was the relationship between the accused and the victim.
To the first question, David MC limited himself to saying “I don’t know” and to the second he declared: “I’m not going to answer that question.”
The prosecutor considers the accused as the author of a homicide and a persistent offense of fraud, and therefore requests that he be sentenced to 11 and a half years in prison, a request to which the defense acceded.
THE private accusations characterize events as murder with cruelty or, alternatively, as homicide, and they also attribute to him a continuous crime of fraud, for which they request a sentence of 18 years in prison. However, and given that they have so far refrained from questioning witnesses, it is foreseeable that they will modify their characterization of the facts at the end of the trial to seek a conviction for murder.
