"The victim was asleep and the defendants placed a cable around her neck," said the Prosecutor's Office, which added that "the two men acted according to a previous plan and the tasks that each one carried out were distributed with the aim of removing her life to the woman."
It was specified that "they tied a knot at one end of the cable, tied the other end to a pole on the roof of the house and left the woman hanging, which caused her death by suffocation by hanging."
The prosecutor stated that "to take the life of the woman, who was her partner and the other investigated man acted safely, without risk to themselves and taking advantage of the state of absolute defenselessness in which she was because she was lying down
sleeping
" .
