A man accused of killing Maialen Mazon to a friend, "It's nice to screw up."
The judicial process has continued to determine what the accused did in the hours following the crime: that he wanted to flee to Valencia.
The accused of the murder of Maialen Mazon in Vitoria in May 2023 sent a message to a friend the day after the crime, "Beautiful to screw up," as the friend himself told the third day of the trial in the Provincial High Court of Álava.
According to his testimony, he received the message on the morning of 28 May, hours after the crime in a apartment in the Alavesa capital. The victim, who was pregnant with twins, was stabbedto death.
During the session, the taxi driver who took the accused from Vitoria to Valencia that same Sunday also testified. The driver explained that the man hired the service under another name and that he thought hehadbeen "partying all night" because he almost fell asleep at the start of the journey.
The taxi driver has explained that, after the start of the trip, he received a warning from the president of Radio Taxi that the Ertzaintza was looking for a man who agreed with his client. After confirming this, he decided to locate the vehicle in real time, which allowed the Civil Guard to intercept and arrest thevehicle at a toll in Alagon, Aragon.
The accused is sentenced to 25 years' imprisonment for murder with alevosy and cruelty, with the aggravation of kinship and gender, and to 8 years for each of the two offences of abortion and 4 years for abandonment of the minor.
At the time of the incident, the accused had a restraining order in force and the victim was registered in the VioGen system as a case of extreme risk, but the Ertzaintza subsequently downgraded this qualification to low risk, which led to changes in the protocols for action of the Ertzaintza in cases of gender-based violence.
