Verdict
A jury in Spain found a Brazilian man guilty of killing his aunt, uncle and two young cousins and ruled unanimously that the killings were premeditated.
The jury at the trial in Guadalajara was not convinced by Patrick Nogueira’s defense that he had stabbed his relatives because he was mentally disturbed.
Hia aunt and uncle were in their early forties and his cousins were 1 and 4 years old at the time of the 2016 murders and He was 19.
Prosecutors said Nogueira was a psychopath who planned the slayings, even taking rubbish bags with him for the remains of the bodies. They said the defendant, sent a series of WhatsApp messages about the murders and photos of the bodies during and after the killings.
Nogueira faces decades behind bars. His lawyer said the verdict will be appealed.
