The popular jury that has studied the case of the head of a man who appeared in Castro Urdiales (Cantabria) in 2019 has accused the couple of the deceased.
The jury considers it proven that the woman caused the death of the man and the Prosecutor's Office claims 15 years in prison for homicide with aggravated kinship and attributes the event to an "economic motive".
The private prosecution, which first demanded reviewable permanent imprisonment, has adhered to the prosecutor's request.
The defense lawyer has requested that the minimum sentence corresponding to the charges be applied, which would remain at 12 and a half years.
The defendant has been in pretrial detention since 2019.
The 61-year-old woman, named Carmen M., has confined her defense during the two weeks of the trial to trying to exculpate herself from the event and has pointed to her friend, who also has the initials CM, as the possible perpetrator of the events.
She has been in provisional prison in Santoña (Cantabria) since 2019. On September 29 of that year, her neighbor and close friend opened a cardboard box that the suspect had given her, who told her in the spring that there were "sex toys" inside that were not He wanted the Civil Guard to discover in his home, since his partner, Jesús María B., had been missing for several weeks.
The sessions in the investigating court of Castro Urdiales have served so that the defendant's defense,
for whom the Prosecutor's Office claims 25 years in prison against the revisable permanent prison claimed by the family of the deceased as a private prosecution, demand his acquittal.
This Thursday, at the conclusion appointment before the judge, the lawyer raised the subsidiary request for a cover-up of the crime for his client, although he did not specify who could have killed the man, whose body has not been found.
The prosecutor has tried to demonstrate, according to the statements of the experts, the aforementioned civil guards and the searches on Carmen M.'s computer, that it was she who, following "economic motives", ended the life of her boyfriend, 67 years old.
The representative of the public ministry has relied on the fact that on the device someone wanted to know on Google issues such as "How long does a corpse take to decompose" or doubts about whether in the event of death a person can collect the deceased's pension.
Both he and the family's lawyer described the weeks after the alleged event, in which the suspect hired several people to clean the house and one of them even declared before the magistrate that she moved very heavy garbage bags,
in which these parties believe that remains of the corpse of Jesús María could be found.
Both have criticized the "illogical account" of the defendant in the face of a "shocking and premeditated" crime.
The Prosecutor's Office has focused the sessions on analyzing the woman's story and looking for inconsistencies, such as that she maintained before her boyfriend's relatives that it was she who went to the barracks to report the absence, but the Civil Guard has declared that it was a cousin of the deceased who gave the first notice.
He has also described that CM "stockpiled" a significant amount of a relaxing drug that was found in the deceased's head.
These mortal remains, when studied, revealed that the head was subjected to a "solid incandescent fire typical of an electrical appliance."
