The defenses of the 2 accused of the murder of Dutch ask for 8 years of jail – Terra Chile

The lawyers of Juan Cuenca and Valentin Ion, who recognized in the trial to have participated in the violent death of the player Dutch volleyball Ingrid Visser and her partner, Lodewijk Severein, have been described as offences of murder and have asked for each 2 sentences of 4 years imprisonment.

even Though the facts have to be qualified that way because the victims could not have the slightest chance of defense when you received the deadly attack, for these lawyers should be applied to their clients the extenuating circumstances of the confession of the facts and undue delay, considering that the case was paralyzed on the phase of instruction 21 months.

For its part, the defender of the third accused, Constantin Stan, has asked for only three months in prison for cover-up, with application of those same extenuating circumstances, because, he said, was not involved in the murders, but only in the collection of the remains of dismembered corpses in the house where the crimes were committed and his subsequent burial.

with Respect to the fourth accused, Serafin de Alba, the owner of the land where they were buried the corpses, for whom the accusations claim to three years in prison for cover-up, his lawyer has asked for his acquittal, after exposing that neither had prior knowledge of the criminal plans of Basin or assisted in the burials.

In this new session of the oral hearing from September 28, is developed in Murcia before a jury, the fiscal has presented his report, reiterating his request of two sentences of 25 years in prison each for Basin, Ion and Stan.

For the prosecution to state the evidence that bear on the accused are “overwhelming,” and credited both the Basin came up with the double crime and hired to run it to Ion and Stan, both of Romanian nationality, as these participated in the murders and the subsequent dismemberment of the bodies.

In terms Of Alba, has said that his explanations exculpatory are not credible, since it is not possible to think who was unaware that the bodies were buried in his orchard when he was the same who facilitated a wheelbarrow, a shovel and gloves for your transfer from the car of Basin to the open pit on your property, has stressed the prosecutor.

To your judgment, it also lacks credibility on the version of Trw, and the Ion that is left outside the scene of the crime to Stan, since it is unlikely that the perpetrator of the murders was only Ion, and that Basin had been limited to holding Visser while his partner received the deadly assault.

The private prosecution, brought by the relatives of the victims, has held the same account of events and the participation of the four defendants set out by the prosecutor, although at variance with this in the source to apply the mitigating factor of undue delay.

In terms of the confession of the facts alleged by the defenders of the Basin, Ion and Stan, it has been shown the contrary to be taken into account, since the first only admitted to having planned the death of Severein, and not that of your partner, and the second left out of the crime scene to his compatriot.
