Turn of witness testimony at the trial for Luke Aguirre's death
Friends and family of Lukas Agirre demanding justice.
Last Friday, at the first session of the trial, once the jury has been formed, this Monday begins the first witness statements in the trial on the death of Lukas Agirre. Prosecutor Jorge Bermudez has requested 22 years' imprisonment for two of the three defendants accused of stabbing the young man at Christmas 2022.
Specifically, he asks for 22 years for both the alleged perpetrator of the two stab wounds and another young man accused of being a necessary co-operative. In addition, for the woman who was with them at the time of the crime — charged as a cover-up — the prosecution requests three years' imprisonment.
A jury of five men and four women will finally judge the case.
Applications up to 25 years old
The two individual charges, representing the victim's relatives, require sentences of up to 25 years' imprisonment for two men and two years for the woman.
At the beginning of the trial, the prosecutor representing the public prosecution stated that there are "sufficient indications to destroy the presumption of innocence" against the three persons prosecuted in this proceedings.
Events
According to the Public Prosecutor's Office's letter, the events occurred in the early morning of Egugerri Day, 2022, when Lukas Aguirre was with friends in a discotheque in the centre of San Sebastian, where the three defendants were also present.
Outside the party hall, around 6:00 in the morning, there was a "quarrel" between the two groups, at which point the main defendant stabbed Lucas Aguirre with a knife, which had previously been handed over to him by the other defendant.
The Public Prosecutor's Office considers that the accused woman also obstructed the investigation so that the two men could "evade criminal liability".
