A forensic doctor from the Institute of Legal Medicine of Galicia (Imelga) who participated in the autopsy of Samuel Luiz’s body confirms that he died “from multiple blows in the context of an attack” and that they added up until they caused death. “We are talking about cumulative injuries,” he summarized and indicated that those suffered by the victim are compatible with punches and kicks. The death occurred after going into cardiac arrest “on several occasions” at the scene, when he collapsed after the fatal beating on the A Coruña seafront. The situation was repeated later: “On three occasions his heart stopped during the ambulance transfer to the hospital,” he said during the trial, reports Europa Press.
This doctor stated that the paramedics were trying to revive him for ninety minutes, but without success. “They fought a lot,” he said. Due to the erosions that the body had in different parts, he concludes that it received many impacts, but it does not seem that it defended itself. There were no typical marks from this, such as on the knuckles. “I don’t know if he had a choice, but it doesn’t seem like he defended himself,” he insisted in response to questions from the prosecutor.
All of this in a statement with a very detailed account of the injuries on the deceased’s body and with no or few questions from the defense, who referred only to questions about whether the intensity of the blows can be deduced. Nor did the private and popular accusations raise questions.
The murder trial sessions continue this Tuesday with experts and after the testimonies have concluded. Two police officers who will review the contents of the defendants’ cell phones have given their explanations before the court. In line with previous testimonies, one agent confirmed a change of telephone number by one of the accused, Alejandro MR, after the events while another confirmed a “significant” flow of calls between the accused in the early hours of July 3, 2021 – day of brutal aggression – and afterwards.
“They were numerous,” he stated to specify that in the case of Catherine SB does not make calls, but she does receive them. All of this in a statement in which he also pointed to searches in newspapers “outside normal hours” on the day of the events, around six in the morning.
“They have areas in common,” he stated when questioned by the prosecution about the possible location of the defendants that night based on the cell phones, although, when asked by Alejandro MR’s defense, he admitted that he cannot determine the radius of action. of the antennas to be able to specify the place where the person is.
