most. Thank you very much. Maria

18
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:57.000
Victoria Cubillana Barriga was a beautiful,
red- haired, taunting, and very

19
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.760
shy eleven- year- old girl. He lives with his parents, Joseph

20
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.840
and Joanna, and his six brothers, one of them Michael, his twin

21
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.599
brother. In the rural neighborhood of
Zaragoza de la Cartuja, located in the

22
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:14.759
valley of the Ebro, next to
the river, a neighborhood that currently has

23
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:22.439
three thousand neighbors. It ran on
the 16th of August of a thousand nine

24
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:27.759
hundred and eighty- four, the
neighborhood was celebrating the feasts in honor of

25
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.439
San roque were around four o'
clock in the afternoon. When Victoria left

26
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:37.800
her house in search of her friend, she never returned home again. The

27
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:43.319
disappearance of the girl caused a great
bewilderment among all the Carthusian neighbors. The

28
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:50.400
celebrations were paralysed and beats were established
that proved unsuccessful one after the other to

29
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:58.199
try to find her. No one
could suspect that the person responsible for his

30
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:37.479
disappearance actively participated in in or his
search for the truth, a journey through

31
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:52.919
the black history of our country.
How I remember Victoria and she' s

32
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:58.599
always in my image dressed as a
Mayan community. Victoria was a very quiet

33
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:03.520
girl, very nice, she was
nice. I was playing with everyone,

34
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:14.039
I think there was the sport,
because of these beautiful peachy girls Supelico Rojo

35
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.439
was my sister Gemela. We were
a pineapple, we were always together.

36
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:23.480
I had the face that one day
got angry with me, my brother gave

37
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:28.720
me a truck and got angry with
me and he threw it at me that

38
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.360
the two of us were impossible,
because they were starting to argue and we

39
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.759
were going to play. We made, therefore, with the sand, holes

40
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:41.079
with the chivas, with the taba
where I was already the day before the

41
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:46.519
disappearance of victory, that we were
playing to dance, to run from top

42
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.319
to bottom. It' s just
that it stays here in my memory.

43
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.480
What I did notice from my sister
was that when I came home, we

44
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:58.879
wore records like I was so nervous. I say the same, and now

45
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.360
I understand why he bit. If
in August I remember I left her in

46
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.800
the carthusian, in the orchard or
frison we called her to the park earlier.

47
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.439
It' s a park now.
I said don' t come with

48
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.639
me because I was gonna play with
some friends of mine like parties. And

49
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.079
that' s not what I'
m missing, either. We do miss

50
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:20.000
it already at night. I was
about fifteen sixteen years old and I came

51
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.720
back about eight and a half nine
in the afternoon to my parents' house

52
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.439
and there was a very worried mother
who called me the little one. There

53
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:29.480
was no return home that day,
the day before we were talking. I

54
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.079
mean seven brothers we are. Nothing
has ever happened to us, none and

55
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:38.680
I gave myself a chill and at
night they called us that my sister had

56
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.040
disappeared and we agreed, we went
to look for all the rocks, everywhere.

57
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.399
I couldn' t be with friends' houses I had at eleven o

58
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.199
' clock in eight, so I
still didn' t show up. We

59
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:53.439
' re already doing the town bouncing. We were at San Roque Cartuja parties,

60
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.240
from the stage of the musicians,
that I don' t know if

61
00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:00.639
the mayor or that he was said
to missing a girl to see if of

62
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.959
the whole town we can find her. We' ve all gone to look

63
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.079
for her directly. I think we' ve been there every night. People

64
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:12.319
spoke with us. I' m
very grateful and the next day we saw

65
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.639
part of the local police. There
was already the Gob disappearance then so much,

66
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:20.240
the time had already elapsed to put
the enunciation. The days were happening

67
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:25.000
and nothing was known about Maria Victoria. The whole neighborhood turned into tracking operatives.

68
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.480
The Civil Guard used the service of
helicopters, canine units and numerous collectives

69
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:35.199
of different units, but without success. The search was for me the worst

70
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:41.199
stage of my life, the thing
you can' t imagine. They performed

71
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.959
units, the White House post,
the post of the carpuja between the Burgo

72
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.879
de Ebro, Carsetas and the unit
of the reserve core, all supported by

73
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:54.279
canine units of the CIVID Guard At
first it was practically day and night.

74
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.720
Then, as the days passed by, for there were about twenty and so

75
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.959
many days, for he was already
looking for himself, but no longer day

76
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:06.040
and night, but he kept looking
for himself. My father was always there

77
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:11.240
looking. We' re talking about
that I was ten years old and I

78
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.439
was asking every day he found it, you found it. No, we

79
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.279
haven' t found him, but
there, Father, you could see that

80
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:21.079
tiredness. It' s exhaustion everybody
fucking looking for the woman everywhere and things

81
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:26.920
were going very slowly. Then they
called us on the phone that they had

82
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.160
seen her in such a place that
they had seen her. I don'

83
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:33.000
t know where it' s from, they started calling us to confuse us.

84
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.839
I also want to remember that there
was a street in works of the

85
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:41.680
cardboard that some sing loose. I
put the song in and I went that

86
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:46.480
almost to the river Ebro, because
within them I would sing looking for the

87
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.319
inner prura, if human did not
seem it. Sergeant Miguel Meléndez was the

88
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:55.000
one who took over the investigative work. He met with many neighbors. One

89
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.360
of them was Antonio Gali Ballaguer,
the couple of the mother of Maria Victor

90
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.519
' s friend, whom I went
to look for that afternoon to go to

91
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:07.319
the parties in the house located on
Claustro Street. While requisitioning the sergeant'

92
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.199
s house, he was prey to
the thousands of fleas in the barn of

93
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.720
the house, without the agents'
visit having any other results. In an

94
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.680
interview with the child' s parents, the father recalled that Victoria had come

95
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.800
home with fleas for the sergeant.
It was as if a powerful light bulb

96
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:28.199
had been lit in the middle of
so much darkness and it was very clear

97
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:33.720
that Victoria had been in that barn. This case was carried by several groups

98
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.840
of forces and bodies worth this crazy
and the last, which I tell you

99
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:41.639
I am totally literally grateful he was
the civilian body of water. Jasus'

100
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:48.600
s original investigation led by Sergeant Meléndez, Sergeant Miguel Vino. I want to

101
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.360
remember a few weeks later the disappearance
of Maria Victoria and she told me the

102
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:58.960
insight for which she threw and agreed
to have the killer. Antonio' s

103
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:07.720
daughter was the same age as the
victory and because they were girls who shared

104
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.320
school and games and so on.
Well, he started the investigation by going

105
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.600
to his place of residence and seeing
what he could bring to him in this

106
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.159
case. Anthoni visited the house several
times. Then, on one of the

107
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:24.200
visits he went up to the barn
and took fleas there. When she joined

108
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.519
the missing girl' s family and
the police, she told them she was

109
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.440
biting her body like she was carrying
fleas. Then someone in the family said

110
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:39.360
because my daughter sometimes came with fleas. They realized the fleas were in the

111
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:45.679
barn. Then the police gave,
as a matter of fact, that the

112
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.759
girl was going to tell us about
her friend in the barn because it was

113
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:50.960
a place where they didn' t
have to go because she was in bad

114
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:56.480
shape. Antonio Galli Balaguer, born
in Valencia in one thousand nine hundred and

115
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:00.000
fifty- one, was arrested when
he was thirty- three minutes old.

116
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:05.200
At the time of the events.
Within a few hours, Antonio collapsed during

117
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:11.720
the interrogation and ended up confessing to
the civilian guards who questioned him. He

118
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.080
told the agents how. On the
day of Maria Victoria' s disappearance,

119
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.639
she had gone to her place of
residence before noon in search of her partner

120
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.000
' s daughter to go to the
holidays, but she did not let her

121
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.360
out. At four and a half
in the afternoon, again, Victoria came

122
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.120
looking for her friend, but Antonio
was only at the house, when she

123
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:39.320
took the opportunity to climb the girl
to the barn. There he began to

124
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:45.559
grope in his private parts with his
filthy hands. As she had already done

125
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:50.279
on other occasions, the girl remained
still, terrified and trembling with fear,

126
00:10:52.600 --> 00:11:00.360
while Antonio masturbated and lashed in front
of her. Victoria threatened to tell her

127
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:05.720
parents all the abuses she had been
receiving. According to the judgment of Zaragoza

128
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.840
' s hearing, which judged the
facts, he gagged her hand and foot

129
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:15.080
with insulating tape and left her in
the barn, to which she returned several

130
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:20.159
times to convince her not to tell
anything. When she failed, she took

131
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:26.960
her to the bathroom and in the
bathtub full of water drowned her. He

132
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:33.000
then took Victoria' s body wrapped
it in a monkey and hid it in

133
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.360
a drawer in a room next to
the logger. The next day he buried

134
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:43.679
the girl' s body on the
ground and hid it with cement. The

135
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.639
scientific police teams of the Guardia Civil
travel to the place where Antonio Gali pointed

136
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:54.440
out him, where they proceeded to
exhume the girl' s body buried under

137
00:11:54.519 --> 00:12:05.639
concrete. Everything declared at the Civil
Guard headquarters is sadly confirmed. The news

138
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:11.679
quickly filled with pain a neighborhood,
a city and a country that had turned

139
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.919
to the location of the child and
left parents and brothers broken for a lifetime.

140
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.840
Continuing the investigation, Sergeant Miguel proceeded
to his arrest. First, he

141
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:30.759
confessed to the murder of Maria Victoria. Later he came to the cloistered street

142
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:35.320
and proceeded to dig up where the
body of Mary Victoria was, which there

143
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:41.159
appeared among strips of wood and put
in concrete, ambulance life or with the

144
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.639
cup of Christ, I do not
remember. And then I fucked the woman

145
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:50.320
who saw me, and I got
nervous, and she says she' s

146
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.080
gonna tell you something. I rejoiced
and collapsed and asked alive to death.

147
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.240
They said so my father. That
was three years ago and my mother,

148
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.759
as she is still with the PSE, went to point out the two shattered,

149
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:07.200
shattered. Evidently, you can imagine
my house and there were no more

150
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:13.279
Christmases, birthdays, then more of
anything. But the case didn' t

151
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.320
end with the discovery of Maria Victoria' s body. Members of the Benemerita

152
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:22.240
Information Service continued investigations into suspicions that
it was not the first time he had

153
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:28.600
committed a blood offence. Thus he
confessed his first known crime, which was

154
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.080
committed by the detainee in La Zaida, a small Zaragozan municipality with only five

155
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:37.879
hundred inhabitants, almost sixty kilometers from
the capital. There he settled in nineteen

156
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:43.919
hundred and eighty- two, where
he became friendly with a shepherd named José

157
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.759
Luis Laguna, a brave man born
in Manresa in one thousand nine hundred and

158
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:52.799
fifty- one. Married to Angela
Burguera Soler and with two children, Antonio

159
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:58.080
lived with the marriage in the same
house and ended up having sentimental relations with

160
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.279
the pastor' s wife. Apparently, Angela didn' t want to continue

161
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.399
cohabiting with her husband. The way
Antonio had to fix it. It was

162
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.519
first a severe blow with the edge
of the axe on the left front of

163
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.120
his face and then, as José
Lun had not died or lost consciousness,

164
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:18.960
he was only stunned, took a
knife and stabbed him several times in the

165
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:26.919
left emitoras until he ended his life. According to the sentence, after teaching

166
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.480
with the body, he hid it
in the block and days later buried it

167
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.440
carefully. The woman. He told
her that her husband had left the house

168
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.759
and that he would not return until
he left the house. Angela was never

169
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:43.720
convicted, she was charged, but
Antonio took full responsibility for both crimes,

170
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.720
something that Maria Victoria' s family
never understood since they were convinced that she

171
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.480
was aware of both deaths. Or
she who bought the gravel and cement while

172
00:14:52.519 --> 00:15:00.480
Galy was preparing her daughter' s
pit. The body of José Luis was

173
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.360
found, wrapped in lime and with
a blanket inside a pit to fix cars

174
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:11.320
that the killer had covered with bricks
with total coldness fired the agents. There

175
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.159
' s still the last cigarette that
was smoked, which made it clear to

176
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.080
what kind of killers were there.
A criminal who is wise, calculating,

177
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.919
cold and conscious at all times of
his actions. When he came, the

178
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:31.919
civil guard asked the neighbors for help
digging up. The body had been buried

179
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:37.320
by a lime in the well and
put there. We had to break the

180
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.120
concrete and then start with beak and
everything and slowly and cleaning with pallet already

181
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:48.480
we discovered the body came out as
if it was dissecting the Civil Guard.

182
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.919
He came with him because he said
where he was. He was going to

183
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.840
see for the very quiet, mutia
alkyl as if swimming had happened. I

184
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.799
remember, they were handcuffed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and half the

185
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.240
town was there. Don' t
be like that. He stayed all over

186
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:04.879
the world in stone like I stayed
and everyone else because, like he gave

187
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:10.240
away, bicycles and all that they
thought was a pressure, an honest one.

188
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:14.799
Anyway, it was a baggy of
the size of the gadicaster, which

189
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:15.799
was very little, which seemed to
me that there was no defeat of a

190
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:21.120
plate. Of course, he was
quite loved by very social people. I

191
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.159
was talking to everyone, very nice. Just like that with the kids.

192
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:32.320
Also clear, after killing José Luis, the murderer and widow with her two

193
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:37.799
children, they left the house to
avoid questions from the neighbors and moved to

194
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:42.639
Oviedo, where they lived for several
months. They did not adapt to the

195
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:51.799
city and ended up returning to Aragon, specifically to the Cartuja. There they

196
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:55.519
arrived with the opposite, they were
helped by the parish and the rest of

197
00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:00.840
the neighbors, who provided them with
a roof food, furniture and even rock

198
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:06.359
And where Antonio began to work as
a mechanic, becoming a person respected and

199
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:11.319
loved by the community. The way
to thank all that support received by the

200
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:18.039
Carthusian neighbors was to commit the savage
crime of Maria Victoria that at that time

201
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:23.599
there were some very important floods in
Valencia. Okay then he came asking that

202
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:27.519
he had lost everything in his village, that he had run out of house.

203
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:30.119
But then we' re all over
them that it wasn' t like

204
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.720
that. The Mayor found him a
house, found him a job, people

205
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.680
helped him with food, that is, welcomed him to the pole. Our

206
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:42.000
parents would send us to the best
in clothes to take them During the investigation,

207
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:47.839
the Civil Guard finds another surprise.
They were facing a sexual predator.

208
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:53.359
Galy had been convicted for the first
time in a thousand nine hundred and seventy

209
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:59.240
- nine for three cases of attempted
sexual abuse in Calanda, a ten-

210
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.720
year- old girl, a thirteen- year- old girl and a young

211
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:06.880
man with whom he tried to link
up and threatened with a knife for those

212
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:11.160
acts. Teruel' s hearing punished
him with four months and one day in

213
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:18.680
prison for dishonest abuses. It was
a different time and today the punishment imposed

214
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:26.599
and ridiculed under the current Penal Code
is surprising. At that time, as

215
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:32.079
Barato came out, the predator reoffends
in the municipality of Alcañiz, where he

216
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:37.880
committed two other attacks. His victims
this time were a seventeen- year-

217
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:42.079
old boy and a thirty- nine- year- old woman, married to

218
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:47.720
whom he hit with a metal tube, rendered her meaningless and took her to

219
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:51.279
the outskirts of the city. It
was the year nine hundred and eighty-

220
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:55.799
two, and the sorrows were also
very light. The payment of a fine

221
00:18:55.880 --> 00:19:00.240
of fifty- zero pesetas and six
months of only major arrest with the mitigating

222
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:07.480
mental alienation and Antonio I didn'
t like anything and saw it as clean

223
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:15.880
wheat. He worked as a garage
watchman. My friends would tell me they

224
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:19.200
' d go and play catcher.
They told me that I was touching them

225
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:23.960
under the skirt. His parts saw
it as a game. I saw it

226
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:30.119
differently and they asked me if I
went to play too and I let them

227
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:34.240
not. After a time of the
murder of Maria Victoria, Miguel, her

228
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:38.160
brother Gemelo, took courage and strength
to gather his parents and brothers and confess

229
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:44.960
something that did not allow him to
live. Antonio Galli had also abused him,

230
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.160
but he was not able to count
it so as not to inflict more

231
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:53.599
pain on parents who were already totally
broken. Confession gave Miguel a release and

232
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:57.519
could eliminate some of that pain.
That I wouldn' t let him live.

233
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.839
What you are going to hear are
the statements that Miguel made on the

234
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:07.920
regional television program Aragonesa mobile unit,
which was broadcast on February 23rd of the

235
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.559
two thousand and twenty- three.
It was the first time that Michael reported

236
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:17.240
the abuses to which he and his
sister were publicly subjected. The broadcast of

237
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:22.200
the programme led more neighbours to decide
to report the abuses they had suffered from

238
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.720
Kali Balaguer. I didn' t
want to get in any more trouble.

239
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.440
I already had enough with what had
happened, like for me to say hey,

240
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:40.160
dad or mom who abused me too. The first time I came down

241
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:45.839
with my sister in the cartuja,
they were building some winged floors that called

242
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:49.559
it the red floors. He worked
as a watchman for the play. Her

243
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:55.960
daughters were friends with my sister and
then she warned us, called us like

244
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:00.279
saying they needed help, that she
told me there was a light bulb I

245
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.359
couldn' t put on. I
was holding my arms, putting myself on

246
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.599
my shoulder, and I was screwing
the bulb and what I realized I was

247
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:14.440
already getting my hands on. I
was like what it is. This is

248
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:18.960
the first time anyone' s touched
my parts. Well, you stay paralyzed

249
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.359
and you say maybe I' m
making it up. I' m what

250
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.960
your mind thinks. Then I remember
my sister telling me to wait here,

251
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.200
that I' m going with your
sister, that we' re going to

252
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.759
play something else and take her away
from the back of the place and stay

253
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:41.440
with my sister and I stay there
as paralyzed, because it' s something

254
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:45.319
at that age you don' t
know what sex is, genitals or anything,

255
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:53.240
because it' s more taboo in
those total years that we went down

256
00:21:53.240 --> 00:22:00.319
again and we got the same thing
already and we called back and stayed paralyzed.

257
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:07.440
Like saying it can' t be
and I remember telling us that if

258
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:11.680
we knew what we were doing,
that on top of the guilt we had

259
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.039
that if we talked that I was
going to tell my father. Of course,

260
00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:18.279
we were quiet because he didn'
t want me to say that to

261
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.039
my father. I didn' t
want my father to punish me or my

262
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:23.920
sister, and we shut up.
Yeah, that I remember there were more

263
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.519
people, more kids from the carthusian, one of the kids had a brother

264
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:30.480
also told him that he was going
to tell his father and he was going

265
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.960
up to the roof to throw it
out so they wouldn' t talk.

266
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.079
We were eleven years old, between
ten and eleven years old. I remember

267
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:44.839
once because we had to make a
relationship with him. Me and my sister,

268
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.680
the defendant was tried and sentenced to
sixty- four years in prison for

269
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.960
the murders of the girl María Victoria
and that of José Luis Laguna, a

270
00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:00.240
sentence he served in the Dueso Prison
in Santander. He is finally released after

271
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:06.240
serving twenty years of imprisonment. In
May of two thousand one. Unfortunately,

272
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:11.440
for our society, the killer continued
to kill the guer from prison and moved

273
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:17.200
to Orense and north of Portugal,
where he was arrested in the neighbouring country.

274
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.839
For drug trafficking in two thousand one
and sentenced to four years in prison.

275
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:29.559
Only 20 days after he was released
from Portuguese prison. On the 21st

276
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:33.480
of November of the two thousand five
he went with his car to the Alameda

277
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:40.000
Dorense, where he contacted Aurora la
Cuña Brito, a woman who practiced prostitution

278
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:45.640
with whom he arranged a sexual service
for seventy euros. They were a road

279
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:49.359
near the town of Masside, where
he suffocated her and left her lying in

280
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:55.839
a ditch. His defense during the
trial stated that he did so because he

281
00:23:55.960 --> 00:24:00.480
had stolen his wallet. He had
his wallet inside his pants between his legs.

282
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:04.599
I grabbed her hand and kicked scratches
and bit me. I took it

283
00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:08.720
by the neck. I picked up
my wallet and let her out, but

284
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:12.960
I didn' t think she was
dead and since she wanted to piss me

285
00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:18.039
off, I took her a stone
and left her sitting there thinking she'

286
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.359
d react soon. We listened to
Antonio' s own voice during the trial.

287
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:29.039
However, I settled a bit I
saw because a little lower a bordilla

288
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:37.279
and a party, the first lutia
of the fa ciel and there they gave

289
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:45.599
him when he decided but to which
the three months after that incident, proceeds

290
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:52.519
the arrest of this criminal thanks to
Helena, another prostitute who denounced to the

291
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:56.759
civil guard who had tried to kill
him. He was about to be his

292
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:03.119
fourth death victim. With Elena'
s description of her aggressor and the tourism

293
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:11.440
she was traveling in, they were
key to her arrest, that there is

294
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:19.440
no rehabilitation for these people. To
the facts I recall I know that he

295
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:23.960
asked for the third degree and denied
it, that what little value does a

296
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:30.039
life have? What little value does
a life have? Simply, according to

297
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:36.079
experts, gall is a sadistic calculator, cold and conscious at all times of

298
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:41.279
his actions. It gathers all the
characteristics of a sociopath, a person who

299
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.960
has a mental illness known as a
dissocial personality disorder. The vision of the

300
00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:52.400
world perceived by the sociopath is clear
and concise. For the murder of Aurora

301
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:56.599
da Acuña Brito he was sentenced by
the provincial audience of Orense to nineteen years

302
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:00.480
in prison. He appealed the sentence, but the phony Supreme Court upheld the

303
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:11.759
sentence. Entering the Orensan prison of
Pereiro, to follow the episode here today.

304
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:18.599
We have talked about a real jewel
that spent his life abusing children and

305
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:26.240
murdering with an absolute coldness, another
killer who took advantage of the weaknesses of

306
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:32.480
our system, a laughable punishment in
the seventy- eight for those sexual abuse

307
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:37.079
that he committed and later for the
twenty years that he turned, of the

308
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.920
more than sixty- four, years
to which he was convicted for the crime

309
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:48.720
of victory and José Luis, a
murderer who just left followed his murderous trajectory

310
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:52.680
and remembers that in this two thousand
twenty- four he will be released from

311
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:57.559
prison. If you haven' t
already. This episode should be a tribute

312
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:03.839
to its victims, their families and
their friends. A case like all of

313
