The trial for the murder of Carolina V., who was fatally stabbed multiple times on a street in Getafe in November 2023, continued this Wednesday with witness testimonies. The main defendant faces a prosecution request for 30 years in prison. Another individual is accused of trespassing and complicity in the murder for disabling security cameras.

The lead investigator of the police report stated that the accused 'responded rationally and logically when he was arrested' and that he observed 'no signs of general health problems'.

The officer detailed that two eyewitnesses described the alleged perpetrator fleeing the scene. Surveillance footage from a nearby senior center and a pharmacy, which placed the suspect in the vicinity before and after the incident, were crucial to the investigation.

The victim sustained three incised stab wounds to the chest and two to the side, all deemed fatal. The murder weapon was not recovered from the scene, where bloodstains were found and the ground was wet.

Direct witnesses recounted an altercation between a man and a woman, with one stating they saw the male inflict three stab wounds with 'a large knife.' They provided a physical description of the suspect: approximately 1.70 meters tall, slender, wearing a grey sweatshirt and dark trousers, with a white bandage on one leg and a limp.

The defense argues that the accused suffers from schizophrenia and requests the events be classified as homicide rather than murder, along with applying mitigating factors for reparation of damages and mental alteration to reduce the sentence.
