Overview
- Prosecutors proved the ex-boyfriend and a friend planned the assault three days after the breakup and used a chokehold before cutting her throat in an Orihuela alley.
- The judge ordered €360,000 in compensation to the family, assigning joint civil liability to the defendants and their parents.
- The pair will remain in a closed juvenile centre until 21 and then be supervised until 30, with one now 18 and the other 17.
- Investigators linked them to the crime through recovered messages and location data, burned clothing, a partly destroyed knife, and biological traces.
- The sentence from Juvenile Court No. 1 of Alicante is appealable, the defendants confessed without a plea deal, and the ex-boyfriend still faces a separate case over alleged prior abuse.
