Madrid (EFE) not guilty his then girlfriend of covering up the crime.
Legal sources have informed EFE of the jury’s decision, which has not appreciated that there was a special vulnerability on the part of the victim, which would have opened the door to a reviewable permanent prison sentence, as requested by the two private prosecutions.
The people’s court has found the other defendant, Celia BMA, not guilty, whom the Prosecutor’s Office did not accuse but the private accusations did, attributing to her the cover-up of the crime for having allegedly collaborated in cleaning up the scene of the events and in the purchase of various material with which Leonardo intended to dispose of Emilce’s corpse.
The Prosecutor’s Office requests that the tattoo butcher be sentenced to 25 years in prison
The Prosecutor’s Office wants him to be sentenced to 25 years in prison, understanding that he murdered the 18-year-old girl on October 16, 2019 because he was obsessed with death, as evidenced by the fact that he had satanic decoration in his house and that he cut in detail parts of the victim’s body to resemble that of a sheet that was hanging.
For his part, the defense argued that it was a reckless homicide and requested that the highly qualified mitigation of confession and drug use be appreciated, for which he should be sentenced to three years in prison.
But the jury has not considered these extenuating circumstances accredited, for which reason defense sources have already told EFE that they will appeal the judicial decision, since they understand Leonardo’s confession of the crime when he was arrested by the Civil Guard as “accredited”. .
In the trial held at the Provincial Court of Madrid, the defendant declared that Emilce, who had previously tattooed a dagger on her arm, died of suffocation by putting on a sadomasochistic mask during sexual games at dawn on October 16. of 2019.
In addition, the “tattoo butcher” blamed what was then his girlfriend for the decision to dismember the young woman to dispose of the body.
