Alicante mother who killed her daughter's rapist to remain free while pardon application is considered

Alicante mother who killed her daughter's rapist to remain free while pardon application is considered: "The provincial court in Alicante has decided to stay the imprisonment order for a woman from Benejúzar sentenced for killing the man who raped her 13 year old daughter while the government decides whether to grant her a pardon.

Antonio C.V. was serving a nine year sentence for the 1998 rape and was out on a prison pass in June 2005 when he approached the victim’s mother at a bus stop in Benejúzar and asked her how her daughter was. Mari Carmen García then went to fill a bottle with petrol, doused him with the fuel and set him alight.

She was initially sentenced to nine and a half years for the murder, but received the lesser term of five and a half years on appeal to the Supreme Court."
