The woman accused of causing the deadly fire that occurred in ses Pa\u00efsses (Ibiza)<\/strong> in August 2023, in which an elderly man died totally dependent, denied Monday having set fire to the home of the victim, father of her then partner. Her statement marks the beginning of the final stretch of the jury trial<\/strong>, in which the prosecution requests for her the penalty of permanent revisable imprisonment<\/strong> for an alleged crime of murder and another of arson. <\/p>\n

“I did not go to the victim’s house that early morning.”<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The accused only responded to the questions of her lawyer, C\u00e1ndido Valladolid<\/strong>, and strongly rejected all the accusations. She acknowledged that in the early morning of August 3, 2023<\/strong>, at 01.05 hours<\/strong>, she left her home, but insisted that she did not go to the house where the two elderly people she was taking care of were staying. <\/p>\n

According to her, it was usual for her to go for walks at that time because she felt safer at night, after having suffered an attempted hit-and-run by her ex-partner. She also denied that she had had conflicts with the victim’s daughters, that she had asked for money from the family or that she called herself a “referent” and responsible for the family after her partner’s suicide attempt days before the fire. <\/p>\n
