A popular jury has unanimously found Marta C., the woman accused of killing and burning Pilar Moreno, in Carabanchel, as a result of dicusions for the default of debts. The citizens selected for this jury have taken less than 24 hours to reach a verdict and have determined that death was a premeditated murder and that the defendant falsified the bank receipts. The Prosecutor’s Office has raised his request for sentence of 18 years in prison, the private accusation exercised by Santiago Torres keeps the age of 28, and the defense, 16 years.
On February 27, 2023 Marta, then 34 years old, and Pilar, 68, were seen at the house of the first. Both lived in the same landing. Marta lived for rent and was going to leave the floor the next day. Pilar had assumed a few months ago the presidency of the community and was trying to order the accounts because there were problems with unpaid receipts, among them ,. She insisted that she had paid them. In the mobile messages of the previous weeks, it is perceived how her nervousness increases in the face of her home JUSTIFIES that the neighbor had presented could be false.
Police believe that this matter became an obsession for the defendant and decided that the solution to get rid was to end Pilar. Therefore, the investigation concludes, that morning he went to his home from his village with a suitcase, made his victim with some pretext to his house and died there. The inquiries have not been able to determine how Died because Marta took the body to her people in Toledo and calcined it.
The victim’s family realized his disappearance that morning and denounced that same day, which made the police assume the case from the beginning and could monitor Marta, the main suspect, from the first hours. That surveillance led them in which he would later confess that he had thrown the remains. The next day, the agents made a record in the housing of the defendant in Carabanchel and found remains of blood in the bathroom and in the living room, despite the fact that Marta had cleaned “conscientiously.” On March 1, the woman was arrested in the immediate vicinity of the house in which the crime was committed with the paper of the mailbox with the name of her victim in her pocket.
The defendant always defended that Pilar’s death, that the victim slipped and hit her head. Marta C, argues that she was scared and was not able to react to call emergency services. The jury has not believed this version and has considered that he did prepare the death of his neighbor. On crime and later, the defendant about unsolved crimes, how to detect blood and how long to wait to report a disappearance.
