The Supreme Court confirms the permanent prison for El Chicle for the murder of Diana Quer

The Supreme Court has confirmed this Thursday the permanent prison sentence that can be reviewed for José Enrique Abuín Gey,

for murdering Diana Quer in 2016 in A Pobra do Caramiñal (A Coruña) to hide a sexual assault on the victim.

The magistrates have also confirmed another sentence of four years and one day in prison for a crime of illegal detention and another of sexual assault, as well as the application in both crimes of the extenuating confession.

The Criminal Chamber has completely dismissed the appeal filed by El Chicle against the judgment of the Superior Court of Justice of Galicia, issued in June.

This in turn confirmed that issued by a Court of the Jury of the Provincial Court of A Coruña in December 2019. This resolution also condemned him to pay compensation of 130,000 euros to each of the parents and 40,000 euros to the sister of the victim, and imposed the prohibition of approaching them at a distance of less than one thousand meters and of communicating by any means during the duration of the sentence and, in any case, from the beginning of the sentence and until the 10 years from completion.

The court affirms that the punishment of these acts with the reviewable permanent prison responds to "the seriousness and perversity of the act" and "to the serious attack on a woman like the one that Abuín deployed."

“Treating her, moreover, as if she were a mere object, and silencing what happened for a time, until she had no choice but to acknowledge to the police officers the place where the victim was, a silence that also damages, as it did, the family environment of Diana, for the suffering of not knowing what had happened to her, and which is aggravated in a heartbreaking way when she perceives what really happened to her, and the execrable and inhuman character with which she was treated by the appellant, which must suppose the reproach of the rule of law and the seriousness of the punitive response ”.
