Nov 24, 2024, 02:13 PM
In a significant legal development, a jury in Spain has convicted four men for the homophobic murder of Samuel Luiz, a 24-year-old nursing assistant. The incident, which took place in La Coruña, has been recognized as a hate crime, with the jury finding that homophobia was a motivating factor in the attack. Three of the men, including ringleader Diego Montaña, were found guilty of murder, while one was convicted as an accomplice. The only woman involved in the trial, Katy Silva Barros, was acquitted. The crime, which occurred after a night out, has led to widespread protests across Spain, highlighting the issue of homophobia. The trial, one of the longest in Spanish judicial history, has concluded with the jury's unanimous decision. The prosecution has requested a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison for Montaña.
