Pilar Berrio Jiménez
, 43 years old, died yesterday
stabbed in her car
when,
accompanied by her two children
, she was leaving the Navarrese town of
Murchante
. It was 10:24 in the morning and a black Seat León lunged at his vehicle, hit his car and forced him to stand on the shoulder of the N-6840 next to the football field.
Pedro María RJ
, the alleged murderer, pounced on her with a knife and stabbed her, causing her death, which was
witnessed by the 9 and 5-year-old children
. Then he fled.
The Navarra Provincial Police, the Civil Guard and the Ertzaintza were alerted to the escape of Pedro María RJ, 41 years old and
Pilar's former brother-in-law
. A
criminal with numerous criminal records
who had finished serving his sentence last week and who allegedly fled to Gipuzkoa where relatives reside in municipalities such as
Zumarraga and Legazpi
. Pilar Berrio was born in Vitoria but for 4 years she lived in Murchante, a town in the Navarra Ribera of 4,000 inhabitants that yesterday showed its rejection of the murder with a rally chaired by
Mayor Luis Sancho
.
After verifying the death of Pilar and taking care of the children, the police established controls both in Navarra and in the Basque Country. The Ertzaintza agents were warned of the danger of the alleged murderer so that they
"should take extreme precautions"
since Pedro María RJ would be considered "a
very dangerous person" as he was linked to two murders
.
The suspect was
arrested, tried, and acquitted for a gas station robbery on October 8, 1997
.
Then, Pedro María RJ was accused by the Ertzaintza along with another man and a woman of the
death of Izaskun Larrauri
, 41 years old and an employee of a service station in Ikaztegieta (Gipuzkoa).
The oral hearing of the popular jury trial that took place in 2000 included guilty testimony against the defendants but with gaps in the investigation such as the absence of their fingerprints at the crime scene.
The popular jury ruled his not guilty due to lack of evidence.
Pedro María RJ, however, started a dangerous and recurrent criminal activity.
