A man under investigation for a fatal incident last October is at the center of a legal dispute after a confrontation at a nightlife venue. The incident occurred at Copity nightclub, located within the Laseda Gastro Village entertainment complex, near a golf course by the San Juan beach. According to a summary presented to Alicante’s Court No. 7 by a special prosecutor, the events are described as deliberate and calculated, not merely reckless. The document, prepared by José Moreno Bernal, who represents the special prosecution, asserts that the accused acted with knowledge of the potential consequences of his violence. The defense, by contrast, contends the act was not premeditated, arguing instead that it lacked intent and certainty.

The court has yet to render a decision on the petition as it awaits a comprehensive autopsy report. In the prosecutor’s filing, surveillance footage is cited to support the claim that the attack was planned rather than impulsive, portraying it as a calculated move rather than a hot-headed response. The narrative describes a deliberate motive and a display of control that goes beyond a momentary loss of temper.

Among the key testimonies offered by the special prosecutor’s office is a statement from a witness who was present at the disco. The witness, a friend of the deceased, recounted that when the accused addressed the victim, he allegedly declared an intent to strike or even kill, signaling a premeditated mindset rather than a spontaneous act.

Results

The prosecutor’s report emphasizes that the accused demonstrated awareness of potential consequences due to his physical condition and training. The documents reference athletic preparation in gyms, martial arts, and contact sports as factors that could contribute to the ability to inflict serious harm. The prosecution argues that these elements point to a level of danger that exceeds ordinary confrontation and indicates that the act was not simply a fight but an intentional exertion of force.

Another section of the file describes the accused as a dangerous individual with sufficient preparation and physical capability to achieve the outcome observed. The prosecution asserts that this is not a mere lawful combat scenario but a violent act carried out by someone with a proven history of aggression. Police reports are cited to show federation in contact sports and martial arts, reinforcing claims of potential risk associated with the accused.

A witness added that the accused delivered a precise kickboxing strike, described during testimony as an outside-the-organization move, suggesting knowledge of fighting techniques. This detail is used to reinforce the portrayal of calculated skill rather than accidental aggression.

Records

The prosecutor’s office also notes that surveillance footage from inside the venue did not show an attack on a private area, but rather an incident in which the accused allegedly made inappropriate contact with a woman. It is recorded that the person involved in the dispute was with the accused in the venue, and an altercation unfolded that led to both parties being escorted from the nightclub. In one account, the accused dropped a drink, and the victim confronted him, followed by intervention from others who separated the two.

The defense denies that the encounter was mutual aggression, contending that the initial incident was resolved and that the accused was attacked in a deliberate, almost orchestrated manner. The prosecution, however, maintains that the attack was abrupt and unexpected, preventing the victim from defending himself. The force of the blow caused a loss of consciousness, and the subsequent fall resulted in a skull fracture with damage to the nervous and vascular systems.
