The accused, who has been in provisional prison since the end of 2019, when he confessed to having dismembered the young woman’s body, is accused of her death and those of Arliene Ramos and Lady Marcela during sexual practices with cocaine and probably other substances. .
During the course of the trial, the Civil Guard, although at first they saw the dismemberment of Calvo as plausible because they were able to prove that Palma bought saws, bags and cleaning products, doubted that theory due to the absence of genetic profiles in the supposed scenario and the search in landfills.
Marta Calvo’s body never appeared.
he ‘found’ her dead
The accused stated that, when he discovered that the young woman was dead in the house where they had gone to have sex, he thought of committing suicide “out of desperation”, since he has a record of drug trafficking and is Colombian.

Palma assured that the meeting of both to have sexual relations developed in a “normal” way, that both went to bed and that when she woke up she did not respond, she observed a “strange” gesture and noted that she was “cold”, and that she had no heartbeat, but it did not seem “timely” to call the emergency services.
He assured this Wednesday that he was afraid and “very desperate” during the days that passed since he dumped the remains of the young woman until he turned himself in to the Civil Guard, on December 4, and had planned to commit suicide but finally thought that if he had not taken anyone’s life, why would he take it?

Serial killer?
Palma admitted to being a regular user of cocaine, which he carried for consumption at the so-called “white parties” in brothelsin which “erotic use” is sometimes made, but denied that he had ever placed the substance on the genitals of women.
About Arliene Ramos, also deceased, he declared that when he left after keeping an appointment with her, he was conscious, and about the other victim, Lady Marcela, of whose death he is also accused, he said he could not locate her.
For these alleged crimes, plus those of sexual abuse, the Prosecutor’s Office in the conclusions of the investigation requested sentences that add up to 130 years in prison for three crimes of homicide, eleven of sexual abuse.
