Overview
- Jurors in Pontevedra delivered a unanimous guilty verdict on Friday, finding Rama responsible for killing 25-year-old Soufian Mahra in Salceda de Caselas.
- The panel ruled there was alevosía, a form of treachery that leaves a victim unable to defend themselves, but it rejected ensañamiento, which would have required proof of cruelty to cause extra pain.
- Jurors said Rama pulled a knife without warning and stabbed Mahra three times, a sequence the court deemed intentional and fatal.
- Evidence cited included phone data placing Rama at the scene, CCTV that showed him fleeing, photos from the bar, DNA from blood samples, and eyewitness accounts.
- The court will now set the prison term after bids ranging from 15 to 25 years plus €300,000, the jury advised against any suspension or pardon, and Rama remains in custody after a prior arrest in Great Britain.
