José Antonio AC, Sueca’s neighbor, who killed his son, who had just turned 11, with 24 stab wounds in his home on April 3, 2022, confessed to the crime yesterday, but did so reluctantly, once again trying to blame his ex-wife for “leaving me alone” or the child “for telling me I wasn’t his father.” Since yesterday, Sueca’s patricide has been in the dock to be tried by a popular jury of six women and two men (two alternates). It is something she recognized, but when she did this she was suffering from some form of mental illness or was under the influence of alcohol, to which she said she was addicted.
Counterclaim José Antonio AC started yesterday City of Justice If the schedule set by the rapporteur judge who presided over the jury in the Marta Calvo case is adhered to, it will continue until Friday after the defendant broke the agreement at the last minute to continue the oral hearing. to close in harmony. This occurred just before Christmas and caused the hearing to be postponed until after the Christmas holidays.
“He killed his son out of pure evil. He is a bad person. Forensic experts will tell you that he was not experiencing any discomfort.
“His life is over”
Defendant’s testimony focused on much of this first session. And it didn’t disappoint. Earlier, the lawyer from the Administration of Justice (LAJ) had read the provisional qualification letters of all parties, especially the prosecutor’s letter, to the jurors. José Antonio AC seeks permanent imprisonment, subject to review, for murder and a further seven years in prison for habitual abuse (physical and mental)threats and breaking the suspension he was sentenced to for one of these abuse incidents.
Later, as the prosecutor explained to jurors why he was seeking these sentences and why this was a sexist crime, the special prosecution attorney on behalf of the mother focused on detailing the very harsh consequences that Jordi’s murder had left on her. “His life is over,” he said.
“Be careful with forensic medicine”
And lawyer Valencian generalIn this case, it was presented as a popular action, as is always the case when it comes to a sexist crime. The lawyer explained to the people’s court why this was a clear example of indirect gender murder: “He killed his son not because he cared so much or stopped caring, but to inflict maximum harm on the mother. Forensic reports because the defense will try to convince them that he has a psychological abnormality.” “There was a devil inside me,” he told forensic experts. However, they all agreed that he did not experience any changes at the time of the events, even due to alcohol, and that he was fully aware of what he was doing.. He’s not crazy, he knew exactly what he was doing. This is bad. “He’s a bad person.”
The defense tried to stick to this alleged psychic alteration and alcoholism, asking jurors to focus on the “gray” and not just black or white. And now it’s the defendants’ turn. He decided to answer to his lawyer and also to the lawyer. GeneralitatBoth men and both women did not answer the questions of the prosecutor and the special prosecution lawyer.
“Jordi paid the price for this”
Reply to lawyer Generalitat made this clear. Since during a long and difficult interrogation José Antonio AC limited himself to answering yes and no, he could not hide how this loss of power over his ex-wife Dolores led to his son’s anger, although he tried to deny it. crime. “Jordi paid the price for this,” he admitted to forensic experts. Also “if he had come back to me I wouldn’t have killed him.”
“The child screamed, shouted ‘mamaaaaaa’ and the call was cut off. That was the last thing the mother heard.”
It came out of his mouth that the relationship broke down “when he said he was in love with someone else and wanted to break up.” On two occasions, on February 14 and March 13, 2021, when Dolores attempted to break off what her brother described as “social and family isolation and constant harassment and control,” José Antonio AC responded by grabbing Dolores by the neck. and I slam him against the wall or the bed. And he put a knife to his neck.
In August 2021, after he was finally arrested and tried for ill-treatment, he admitted this, which benefited him with a minor sentence (42 days of community work and 16 months suspension), but at the patricide hearing yesterday, he denied this, which led the lawyer Generalitat He requested that the testimony given before the Sueca judge during the murder investigation be given to the jurors, so that they can see that the prisoner did not tell the truth yesterday.
When asked if he accepted the breakup, he replied: “No, because he left me alone.” Yet another attempt to blame him.
“He told me he wasn’t the father.”
And the day of the murder came. April 3, 2022. Jordi had turned eleven two days ago.on the 1st. He repeatedly insisted that his then-ex-wife take the child to her home (Dolores had run away with the child a year earlier, after the knife incident and strangulation attempt, and had taken refuge at her parents’ home in Cullera).
When asked by the popular act, he admitted that Dolores follows religious rules and brings the child to him every Sunday. Moreover, when questioned by the lawyer, he admitted that there was an argument with him as soon as the little boy arrived. “I didn’t want to be at home. I wasn’t comfortable.” When asked by the judge, the defendant said he actually argued with the boy “because he told me I wasn’t his father.” The minor, if he had actually said this sentence to his parent, would have been only 11 years old. His father, 47.
The lawyer asked about the moment of the murder as if it were a prayer. José Antonio AC did not hesitate. For the rest of the session, even as LAJ, at the beginning of the session, had read out the list and location of each of the 24 stab wounds (almost all frontal) that had claimed his life. only one, son Jordi.
With a “yes” or “no” answer, she admitted that the thing Dolores loved most was Jordi – at one point she even said that he was the thing she loved most, but quickly corrected herself – as well as a number of details about Dolores’ crime. . So, after “we got into an argument because he told me I wasn’t his father,” he went on to monosyllabically confess that he grabbed his neck and stabbed him with a knife. “Several times. I don’t know how many. Yeah, her mom called while I was stabbing her and yeah, I remember her picking up the phone. Yes, I let him take the call and listen to me while I killed him.”
The public defender eventually asked, “The child screamed, yelled for mommy, and then the call was cut off. Did you let the child pick him up and hear him?” asked. “Yes, I allowed it“And did he continue stabbing the boy?” “I can’t remember.” Forensic experts who will testify on Thursday counted 24 stab wounds, 17 of which were in the front.
