The prosecutor believes Agustín SM guilty of homicide and desecration of the corpse, whose remains allegedly dumped in the garbage in 2018 and have not appeared
«The accused maintained a relationship of domination over the victim [María Dolores Sandoval], to the point of gradually isolating her from her family and preventing her from interacting with her environment. He could hardly leave the home and, on the rare occasions that he did, it was in the company of the accused. [Agustín S. M.], managing to flee the house at some point taking advantage of the fact that the accused was not in it, “says the prosecutor in the brief of provisional conclusions of the trial of this Cartagena neighbor, whom he considers the author of a sexist crime. For having allegedly killed and dismembered his girlfriend, a 54-year-old woman from Cieza with whom he lived in the port city, the prosecutor asks that he be sentenced to 15 years in prison for a crime of murder and five months for another of desecration of the corpse.
The oral hearing, which is scheduled to be held in six sessions, will begin next Monday in the third section of the Provincial Court, located in Murcia. In it, a popular jury must issue a verdict of innocence or guilt on different issues related to a case that came to light in October 2019, when the National Police arrested Agustín in Cartagena.
According to the prosecutor, who claims compensation of 47,000 euros for each of the three children of the victim, on an undetermined date after October 21, 2018 Agustín attacked María Dolores in the house where they both resided with the intention of taking her life or assuming that result. She did so “because she was a woman”, and after “continuous discussions” for “suspecting” the accused that she “could have parallel affective relationships” and that “she could have fallen into drug addiction.” The couple, who had lived together since 2016 in the home owned by him in Barrio Peral, met at an alcoholism detoxification center.
“To avoid being discovered and without caring about the outrage and disgrace that this entailed” for the woman, he sectioned her body with a saw and a knife
“Because of being a woman”
Agustín communicated his discomfort with María Dolores to a sister of her, with a WhatsApp message, on October 11, 2018. And on January 7, 2019, a brother of her reported the disappearance of the woman to the Police. The agents’ investigations led to the arrest of the now accused as the apparent perpetrator of a macabre crime.
Thus, according to the prosecutor, after killing his girlfriend, the man “to avoid being discovered and without caring about the outrage and disgrace that this entailed” for the victim, “sectioned” the body with a knife and a saw, put the remains into two garbage bags and put them in a freezer. On an unspecified date, but before November 10, he dumped them in two containers.
