Santander, May 8 (EFE) .- The Audience of Cantabria has sentenced each of the two young people who were convicted of the death of another boy in the Apeadero of the Cantabrian town of Boo de Piélagos, in February 2024.
In a sentence, issued on April 21 and against which it fits, the hearing considers both young people, aged 19 and 20, authors of a crime of homicide with eventual intent and applies an aggravating abuse of superiority and an mitigating repair of the damage to the economic amount they paid before trial.
It also imposes a 300 -meter removal order and the prohibition of communicating with the family of the deceased for 12 years, as well as 10 others of freedom guarded after leaving prison.
The sentence, issued by the magistrate of the Third Section of the Court, Juan José Gómez de la Ladel, and the one that has had EFE access, also states that both must compensate, jointly and solidary, with 170,497 euros to the relatives of the victim -who was 21 years old -, in civil liability.
The defenses already expressed on April 5, date of reading the verdict, their intention to resort to the sentence, as one of the lawyers has reiterated today.
According to the jury verdict, which declared both guilty unanimously, the two young people were traveling in the last train car from Santander at 6:35 hours, and ten minutes later, the victim, who was heading to his home in the town of Requejada (Polanco) in another car, changed to which they were and began a verbal discussion.
The three went down in the boo of piélagos and continued their dispute “using the accused the physical force” against the other young man, who was in a state of drunkenness.
The malicious homicide was proven, according to the jury, by the statements of the three witnesses who witnessed the fight that morning, two girls who were at the station and another young man who was traveling on the train and saw her from the window, and for the call to 112 of one of the witnesses.
The fall of the young man to the roads, according to the verdict, was caused by the “push, kicks or blows” of the defendants, Rubén G. and Ángel R., and caused the death “almost immediate”.
The jury considered proven that the two young men continued to hit the other until he fell to the roads “with the intention of ending his life or at least representing the high possibility” that he died because of their actions.
Also that the two young people left the apemer without checking the physical state of the victim, and knowing “or when you least be able to know” that he could have suffered “serious injuries and needed urgent attention.” EFE
