• Madrid The 'cannibal de Ventas' ate his mother in cooked and raw pieces and gave part to the dog

  • Crime The 'cannibal de Ventas' declares that "he heard voices in his head": "Kill your mother"

The popular jury has

unanimously found Alberto SG

., Known as 'el cannibal de Ventas',

guilty

of killing, dismembering and eating part of his mother's body after an argument at the victim's house in 2019, without excuses or extenuating circumstances for mental problems.

Legal sources have informed Efe that this has been the decision of the popular jury in charge of prosecuting the facts, which

met yesterday at noon

to deliberate and gave its verdict late this afternoon.

The nine members of the jury

- six women and three men -

have unanimously considered proven that the defendant committed the murder, then sectioned the body and ingested some parts.

On the other hand, they do not consider it proven, also unanimously, that at the time of the crime he

suffered a psychotic outbreak

, or that excuses or mitigating measures can be applied, the sources detail.

The Fifth Section of the Provincial Court of Madrid held between

April 19 and May 4

the trial in which the Prosecutor's Office requested fifteen years and five months in prison for the accused for homicide and desecration of a corpse, considering that he was "in full mental faculties "when the facts occurred that the jury now sees proven.

Defense strategy

His defense recognized in its final conclusions the crime of homicide but requested an

incomplete defense for the psychiatric disorder

that he suffers, so that he was only sentenced to three years and six months in prison;

or alternatively, that a highly qualified extenuating circumstance was applied, so that he was sentenced to six years and four months in prison.

He added that it was not proven that the defendant ate parts of his mother, so

there would be no desecration of the corpse

, and argued that he is a "sick" person on whom it cannot be ruled out that he suffered a psychotic outbreak on the day of the crime, such as had had on previous occasions.

During his right to have the last word last Friday Alberto

changed his speech

regarding the first day of trial, in which he said that he did not remember the crime or what he did in the following days, and asked for forgiveness, assuring that he suffers " every day".

"I am very sorry, totally;

I suffer anxiety since I wake up

, I think of my mother and my soul falls to the ground," he told the popular jury, and apologized to his family and "to all the women and all the mothers." .

Throughout the trial, several police officers reported that the young man - in 2019 he was 26 years old - told after his arrest, spontaneously and calmly,

how he had killed María Soledad, had chopped her with a saw and knives and had eaten some cooked parts and other crude ones

, getting to assure that it did it because "it made the life impossible to him", and that it did not regret.

Later, several forensic doctors who evaluated him both when he was arrested and in jail certified that

he is not proven to have a psychotic pathology

, although he has sometimes exaggerated to simulate it, but he does suffer from a disorder with paranoid and narcissistic features and suffered psychotic outbreaks several times. in previous moments for which he was admitted.

After the jury's verdict, the Chamber will draw up the

corresponding

sentence

in the next few days

.
