The accused of the murder of a girl in Oviedo in April 2022 acknowledged this Friday in the Third Section of the Provincial Court having killed the minor with cruelty and treachery and accepted the request for conviction of the Prosecutor of the Principality of Asturias and the private prosecution reviewable permanent imprisonment. The defendant also assumed 12 years and six months in prison for the sexual assault on the minor. The case was seen for sentencing.
The Public Prosecutor maintains that the defendant, a Moldovan national and in a regular situation in Spain, decided to end the life of the 14-year-old minor, time before executing his criminal action, on April 5, 2022.
To do this, he studied the entry and exit times of the minor from her home, in Oviedo, so that he came to know that the girl returned home every day from the institute starting at 2:40 p.m., and decided that the best option to carry out his action was to wait for her one day after she returned from class.
In this way, minutes before 2:40 p.m. on April 5, 2022, the defendant decided to execute his purpose. To do this, he left all the blinds of her home perfectly lowered, located in the same building as the minor's, so that no neighbor could see through the windows what was going to happen minutes later inside her home. Likewise, he kept a brown packing tape in the drawer of his nightstand, as well as nine black ties, in case it was necessary to gag the minor.
Finally, he took a table knife, eleven centimeters long and two centimeters wide, with a brown wooden handle, hid it among his clothes, left his home and waited hidden for the girl outside the farm, in an area next to the portal, until she appeared and rang the phone at her house. Her father opened the front door for her and the adolescent entered the building, followed by the defendant, without her noticing her presence.
Once the minor went to the elevator with the intention of going up to her house, the defendant pounced on her, from behind and in an absolutely surprising way, in such a way that the victim could neither foresee nor imagine the attack, therefore that it was completely impossible for him to defend himself. The defendant then gave her a first stab, while he pushed her towards the stairs and covered her mouth so she wouldn't scream.
Once on the stairs, the defendant dragged him up, while continuing to stab him so he would not resist, mainly in the right maxillary area of the face, lower labial area, chin and neck, in order to get there as soon as possible. to the privacy of your home. At the height of the right side of the last step, at the foot of the railing, the defendant knocked the girl down, but even so, she tried to defend herself from her and put up resistance.
Once the defendant managed to drag the minor to the landing of the first floor of the building, the girl tried to get up, in front of the elevator door, although she did not succeed when she was again stabbed by the defendant and knocked to the ground.
Next, the defendant dragged the minor through the corridor to the door of her home, for about seven meters, pulling the trunk of the girl and using the straps of the backpack she was wearing on her back. loaded with school books. Once inside the house, the defendant locked the door and dragged the minor to the bathroom, where he left her, to go to her bedroom.
There, he took off his clothes and returned to the bathroom, where the girl was, already seriously injured and unable to move on her own. The defendant continued to stab her and sexually assaulted her.
At around 3:09 p.m., a neighbor called the National Police through 091 before the desperate screams of the minor's brother, who did not stop pounding on the door of the defendant's home when he saw the enormous blood stains that had in the first floor hallway and his sister's jacket lying on the floor.
Minutes later, a patrol of agents appeared at the scene, who managed to gain access to the defendant's home by forcing the blind on the window of the sliding kitchen door, which was not closed. The police took the teenager out of the bathroom at around 3:20 p.m. and placed her in her lobby, where they tried to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on her, which lasted until the arrival of the health services, around 3:39 p.m. . Moments later a mobile UVI arrived, which determined the death of the minor.
The defendant, in the execution of his criminal purpose, delivered a number of stab wounds that exceeded those necessary to cause the girl's death and only did so to ensure that she caused her absolutely unnecessary pain and suffering.
The defendant, to ensure his purpose, used the great physical force that he displayed in front of the victim, as the defendant was a 30-year-old man with an athletic complexion and the victim was a 14-year-old girl weighing barely 50 kilos.
The minor died around 3:39 p.m. Her body had at least 36 stab wounds. According to the defendant's mental forensic report, he has normal intelligence, understands what has happened, and fully understands what is right and what is wrong. He presents full imputability, with narcissistic traits.
The defendant has been in provisional detention without bail for this cause since April 8, 2022. This Friday he acknowledged being the author of a crime of murder and a crime of sexual assault (rape) against a child under 16 years of age.
After acknowledging the facts, the defendant assumed, for the crime of murder, the reviewable permanent prison sentence, as well as the probation measure for a period of 10 years and with the obligation to always be located through electronic devices that allow monitoring. permanent; communicate immediately, within the maximum term and by the means that the judge or court indicates for this purpose, any change in the place of residence or place or job position; prohibition to approach less than 500 meters and communicate with the parents and siblings of the minor and prohibition to reside in Oviedo or in any of the places of residence of the victim's next of kin.
For the crime of sexual assault (rape) of a minor under 16 years of age, the penalty is 12 years and six months in prison.
