The prosecutor has upheld his request for 22 years in prison for the alleged material perpetrator of the murder of young Lukas Agirre in San Sebastián in the early morning of Christmas Day 2022, as well as for anyone considered to be a necessary co-operative of this crime, for which a woman is also being tried for concealment of defendants, for which the prosecutor is asking for 3 years in prison.

The three defendants testified on Thursday morning at the Gipuzkoa Hearing, where they presented their final findingsthis afternoon.

The individual charges brought by the victim's parents have upheld the sentence of 25 years' imprisonment for the two men, while the defences have requested acquittal.

Everyone will present their papers to the jury this Friday, except the Public Prosecutor's Office, which did so this afternoon.

The prosecutor has not given credit to the statement of the main defendant, who claimed that the butterfly knife, considered the weapon of the crime, was used in the preparation of the cocaine stripes that were frequently used in the discotheque in the early morning of 25 December.

"It was a knife as sharp as a scalpel. To draw a line it is better to have a ID or a credit card, "the prosecutor said of the weapon, which was found in a container where the victim's blood appeared, but not the DNA of the defendants.

In addition to a clean cut to the neck, the defendant stabbed him in the chest, through his lung, heart atrium and esophagus, and pointed out that it was "a real wound that killed him."

And hebelieves that the alleged material author could not have killed Aguirre without the help of the other defendant, who is responsible for the delivery of the knife, even if he did not know when.

The prosecutor also recalled that the main defendant was controlled by a telematic bracelet (whichhe carried for a case of violence against his ex-partner) "with a GPS that marked his position almost millimetrically."

He also referred to the fact that he went to the police station in clothes he did not wear that night and stressed that his real route was marked by "GPS" after fleeing Okendo Square: he went through trash cans and threw away some of the clothes he was wearing at the time of the crime.

"We have a story that allows us to rebuild history with a very high fidelity. We have come where we have come, but it has been enough," said the prosecutor, who believes that he has shown that the three defendants were implicated in the death of young Lukas Agirre.
