The accused outside the courts in Torrox three years ago - EFE archive
The trial begins this Wednesday for the death of Celia Coria, a 25 year old woman from Argentina who was stabbed to death by her ex boyfriend in Nerja in September 2008. It happened in broad daylight as she arrived at her place of work on the Balcón de Europa.
Her ex Moroccan boyfriend is charged with her murder and faces more than 26 years in prison.
The victim’s family say the sentence requested by prosecutors is not enough. Her sister, Vanesa Coria, said ‘We are not talking only of a premeditated, malicious murder, but also of other crimes for which he is standing trial’. She said the accused had broken a distancing order which was in place when her sister was killed and there was an arrest order pending ‘which was never implemented’.
She told EFE that, in her view, he will be out of prison in 15 years if he is sentenced to just 26 and could potentially attack again.
