Romanian couple sentenced for death of retired Murcia priest

Romanian couple sentenced for death of retired Murcia priest: "Romanian couple accused of the death of a retired Murcia priest have been sentenced to 28 years in prison.

75 year old Salvador Fernández Ciller, who had been a missionary in South America for many years before returning home to Murcia, was found beaten to death in his home in Murcia City on April 11 2007. He had acted as parish priest for two churches before his retirement.

The two suspects convicted for his death are Marius Neacsu, sentenced to 20 years for murder and robbery with violence, and his partner of the time, Ramona Mona Strecke, who will spend 8 years behind bars. EFE reports that the court ruled, in the latter’s case, that she was forced to help in the killing and acted out of fear of her partner."
