An eye testimony provides decisive evidence
A neighbor who witnessed the tragic events that took place in the Catllar in July 2023 has testified on the aggression he witnessed. According to his statement, he recorded a brief video with his cellphone showing the defendant verbal attacking and physically his father, an 81 -year -old man.
The police response and the conditions of the crime scene
The agents of the Mossos d’Esquadra who intervened in the situation have corroborated the neighbor’s testimony, saying that they found the defendant in an alarming state, covered with blood. When they entered the house, they discovered the victim lying on the floor with visible injuries, which led to the immediate arrest of the son.
Declarations of the defendant and his Defense
During the transfer to the police station, the defendant repeated several times that the incident had happened because his father mistreated the dogs. The defense argues that the defendant was under the influence of drugs and alcohol during the events, a point that the public ministry has tried to deny.
Un Context Familiar Complex
According to the accusation, the defendant repeatedly struck his father with the intention of causing him death, while launching insults related to the abuse he believed he inflicted on pets. In contrast, police testimonies have stated that no signs of consumption of substances that could affect their behavior were not observed.
Life conditions and animal maltreatment
Agents documented unhealthy conditions inside the house, with evidence of animal abuse, including scattered dog droppings. These findings could play a significant role in understanding family dynamics.
The future of judgment and legal implications
The trial, which is being carried out at the Tarragona High Court, will continue with the presentation of documentary tests and testimonies of experts. The next sessions will include the statement of the defendant, which could bring more light on the events that led to this family tragedy.
Expectations and repercussions
With the prosecutor’s office requesting a sentence of nineteen years in prison for the defendant, the case not only raises questions about individual responsibility, but also on the underlying problems of violence and abuse that may have contributed to this extreme situation.
