  • The defendant: 'Chewing gum' confesses that he strangled Diana Quer because he caught him stealing diesel
  • The accusation: a "sexual predator" before the jury for the murder of Diana Quer

The former sister-in-law of José Enrique Abuín Gey , aka El Chicle , twin sister of his ex-wife, on Wednesday ratified the complaint he filed 14 years ago against him: when he was a minor he raped her. The complaint of sexual assault was filed in 2005, when the girl was 17 years old, and was provisionally filed the following year for lack of evidence, but it was reopened in 2018 after analyzing all the details related to Diana Quer's death and the attempted rape and kidnapping of a young woman in the Coruña town of Boiro in view of the "similarities" between all cases.

That sexual assault is still under investigation in the Court of Instruction No. 2 of Noia (La Coruña) and this Wednesday took center stage on the second day of the trial against El Chicle for the illegal detention, sexual assault and murder of Diana Quer through the statement of which, if confirmed, would be his first victim, and also of other relatives.

The alleged victim declared as a witness in this case and ratified that complaint and also that the events occurred. The president of the court did not let the parties delve into the details of what happened, but she did prove that everything happened and that she maintains her initial version of the facts, according to which it happened in a remote place. These statements were made despite the protests of the defense lawyer of El Chicle , who wanted to ruin that complaint, claiming that it had been false.

During her statement, the woman said that after that complaint she needed several months of psychological attention and that "little by little you are going through it," but the event "you do not forget it, you will not forget it", and every time the Date remembers. "It always comes to mind," he said, although he also acknowledged that he was slowly regaining his relationship with his family and with his twin sister.

At that time, his other three brothers believed him, but his twin sister did not and the relationship broke. However, years later they began to meet at their parents' house and also at some party or career and they resumed their relationship. In any case, "never alone", there were always more people around him when he was in the same room as him.

The woman told questions of the parties involved in the trial that she was afraid of the accused, although she only intimidated her directly on the day of the sexual assault.

The second day of the trial at the Provincial Court of Coruña also included the statement of Rosario Rodríguez Fraga , former wife of El Chicle and that at the time was also investigated in relation to the disappearance and death of Diana Quer for giving him an alibi. Before the jury, he acknowledged that he now denies him and believes nothing of what he had said to her, but considers him guilty of this case. "Obviously, I think it was him, all alone," he said.

As she related, she had not discussed Diana Quer's disappearance with her now ex-husband until the Civil Guard began investigating him and he asked her to lie for him. Now he recognizes that it was "all a lie", but in his day he gave him an alibi ensuring that the day he disappeared the girl from Pozuelo de Alarcón was with him stealing diesel because he asked for it. "He asked me: tell him you were with me that night, because they want to blame me for something that was not done."

The woman wanted to make it clear that she is now "absolutely divorced" from him and that at first she believed him because "from the first moment I demanded the truth, I insisted many times and he said no that I had never seen her in front." Now he doesn't believe him, but at that moment he didn't "imagine" that "he was going to do that."
