Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (EFE) he admits for the first time four years later, and that he then made her body disappear.
On the first day of the trial that is taking place against him at the Las Palmas Court, Díaz Chacón has rejected what had always been his version since the day the Civil Guard arrested him: that his wife was found dead when he returned home at dawn and that he burned and threw the body into the sea because he feared that he would be blamed, since Romina had previously denounced him for sexist violence.
Through his defense, the defendant has pleaded guilty to homicide, ill-treatment and the rest of the charges made against him and has accepted the sentence proposed by the Prosecutor’s Office and the victim’s family: 15 years and nine years in prison, five years less than the one they had been demanding, because now they recognize in their favor the repair of the damage (they have compensated the family with 300,000 euros) and the delays that the case has suffered.
Her confession definitively confirms that Romina Celeste Núñez, who was 29 years old, was the first victim of gender violence in Spain in 2019 and puts an end to a case that had been awaiting trial for more than four and a half years for different resources and vicissitudes, to the point that the defendant was released in January because he had already exhausted the maximum time in prison without sentencing.
