The popular jury that settled the trial against Pablo Antonio S., known as Chiqui, considers him guilty of murder for the death in 2022 of a former friend, whom he killed at point-blank range, and of homicide for also ending the life of a civil guard who went to the scene of the events. The Prosecutor’s Office has raised the initial sentence request from 58 years – as requested at the beginning of the process – to 60 for the double crime. The private prosecution of the deceased agent has raised the request to 80 years of deprivation of liberty against the 12 and a half claimed by the detainee’s defense, who alleges homicides and not intentional murders, something that the Prosecutor’s Office rejects.
The events occurred in Santovenia de Pisuerga (Valladolid). On June 30, 2022, Chiqui, his former friend Dionisio AP and their relatives broke out in a brawl, in which blows were inflicted that took the second to the hospital. After being discharged, the next day, he showed up at Chiqui’s house and he met him with a gun at him and fatally shot him in the torso, with no “possibility of defense” on the part of the victim, the prosecutor has argued during the trial, who has also detailed how the now condemned man saw the man, with whom he had been a close friend in the past, coming, opened the door and shot him.
During the sessions it has been demonstrated that the perpetrator also tried to reach Dionisio’s eldest son, who had gone with his father to the arrestee’s home. The prosecutor has highlighted how this relative of the victim was “persecuted” while Chiqui pointed the gun at him, which jammed and thus prevented a possible second death. The accused assured in his statements that he did not want to kill him.
After the shots, Chiqui took his son-in-law hostage, according to his story, and barricaded himself with him in his home. The Civil Guard surrounded the property and sent a contingent of negotiators so that the man would abandon his attitude and release his daughter’s boyfriend. In his testimony during the trial, the young man has assured that he feared for his life. “I thought I was next,” he said of the 12 hours of “crying, panic and anxiety attacks” trapped by his captor, in which he tied his hands, locked him in the bathtub, forced him to swallow a credit card. cell phone and tried, unsuccessfully, to cut off several fingers on his hand. Furthermore, always according to the son-in-law’s story, Chiqui used him as a human shield and placed him against the door of the home.
At another time during the confinement, Chiqui started shooting at the door of the home. On the other side was the former head of the Special Intervention Unit of the Civil Guard (UEI), Colonel Pedro Alfonso Casado, who fell dead after receiving a bullet wound to the head. During the trial the defense argued that the son-in-law was not being held against his will and also that the author did not know where the agents were, but the rest of the members of the Civil Guard unit have testified that he did know and that he was shouting. “The first one has a cost, the others are free!”, in reference to the death of the first victim. The now convicted man only agreed to leave the home after receiving a dose of methadone.

Chiqui’s lawyer, Agustín Domínguez, known for representing those accused of group rape in the La Manada case, has claimed that his client did not commit murder, but rather homicide, when he felt threatened by Dionisio, and another homicide, due to recklessness. , because in reality he allegedly just wanted to scare the agents. He also does not see illegal retention in the kidnapping of his son-in-law and only admits the illicit possession of weapons. The defendant, who lacked a firearms license, used a Mauser rifle with the serial number partially erased.
During the trial sessions, the now convicted man apologized to the relatives of the deceased, but the civil guard’s wife snapped at him: “Anyone who can forgive him is dead.” The popular jury found together a crime of murder, another of homicide “in ideal conjunction with an attack” as well as an aggravated crime of illegal possession of weapons. However, it exempts him from the crime of kidnapping by not finding that there was sufficient evidence that the son-in-law was being held against his will.
