]]>During her speech, the representative of the Public Prosecutor’s Office asked the jury for a guilty verdict, linking about twenty indications that, in her opinion, place the woman as the author of a crime of arson and murder with the intention of ending the life of the victim.
The prosecutor especially stressed the importance of the security camera recordings, which show the defendant’s route from her home to the house where the fire occurred during the early morning of August 3, 2023. She also questioned the woman’s version, assuring that during her statement «she has tried to prepare an alibi» to justify her presence and her movements that night.
«We have many indications and an implausible explanation, so we understand that the logical conclusion is guilt,» said the prosecutor, who defended that it was «crystal clear» that the woman set fire to a sofa and some cushions with the intent to kill, fully aware that one of the victims was totally dependent and could not escape.
Following the reading of the final reports of all parties, the jury will receive the object of the verdict on Tuesday, after which it will remain incommunicado until a decision is reached.
The trial, which has been held since last week in the Provincial Court, analyzes the responsibility of the defendant in the fire that occurred in a house where two elderly people she was taking care of were sleeping. One of them, given her high dependency and lack of mobility, could not leave the property and died in the flames.
The prosecution argues that the defendant acted deliberately and claims for her the most severe penalty of the Penal Code, permanent revisable prison, considering it proven that she set the fire with homicidal intent.

]]>The accused only responded to the questions of her lawyer, Cándido Valladolid, and strongly rejected all the accusations. She acknowledged that in the early morning of August 3, 2023, at 01.05 hours, 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.
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.
The Jury Court of the Provincial Court judges the woman for her alleged involvement in the fire that broke out in the family home in August 2023. Inside slept two elderly people under her care.
According to the prosecution, one of them was totally dependent and could not leave the house when the flames spread, which caused his death. The Public Prosecutor’s Office maintains that the fire was intentionally set and that the defendant is responsible for the incident, for which it requests the most severe penalty of the Penal Code.
The trial began last week and is now facing its final sessions following the defendant’s testimony. In the next few days, the parties will present their conclusions and the jury will have to deliberate on the guilt or innocence of the woman.
Meanwhile, the defendant maintains her defense based on the total denial of the facts and claims to have had no involvement in the fire that took the life of the elderly man.

]]>The fire, which took the life of an elderly dependent, occurred when the defendant, the victim’s caregiver and partner of the deceased’s son, allegedly set fire to the home while both elderly men slept.
The victim was unable to escape due to his limited mobility, which caused him to die an agonizing death from smoke inhalation, according to the coroner’s report.
The oral hearing, held at the Provincial Court of the Balearic Islands, will resume this Monday at 09.30 am with the statement of the defendant.
Subsequently, the documentary evidence will be presented and the final reports of the parties will be presented. Tuesday will be reserved for delivery to the jury of the object of the verdict, at which time the jury will remain incommunicado until a decision is reached.
The defense, led by attorney Cándido Valladolid, maintains that the accusation is «unfair» and lacks solid evidence, pointing out that it is based solely on the suspicions of one of the deceased’s daughters. Acquittal is the main request of the defense.
During the sessions held last week, the victim’s daughters testified. One of them described the defendant as «a dangerous woman» and said that her presence caused a serious disruption in the family dynamics: «Since she entered our lives, my brother tried to take his own life and my father was murdered,» she said.
Another daughter reported receiving direct threats from the defendant, who allegedly demanded payment of money: «You have laughed at me, but you don’t know who you are playing with. I want you to pay me 500 euros or else you are going to find out.»
The trial has also revealed that the defendant has a criminal record, including a case in which she threw oil in the face of an ex-partner, causing her serious injuries, and another investigation for arson.
From the beginning of the investigation, the Civil Guard pointed to arson, concentrating the investigation on the current defendant due to her background and the evidence found at the scene of the incident.
Last Friday, the medical examiner who performed the autopsy told the jury that the elderly man died after a slow and painful agony caused by smoke inhalation, as he was unable to move on his own.

]]>During his appearance, the doctor explained that the body of the deceased had second-degree burns only on the front and side of the body, indicating that the fire did not burn him completely. The determining cause of death was the massive inhalation of smoke inside the house, from which the elderly man could not escape due to his reduced mobility.
The coroner also prepared a psychiatric report this year on the accused, then partner of the victim’s son. In this document he concludes that, although she suffers from
The Jury Court has been trying the defendant since Monday for one count of murder and one count of arson, since two elderly people she cared for were sleeping in the house. One of them – the elderly dependent – died, while the other managed to survive. The Prosecutor’s Office requests for her the penalty of permanent revisable imprisonment.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office maintains that the deceased victim was totally dependent and had no possibility of leaving the property when the flames began to spread. The prosecution maintains that the fire was intentionally set by the woman, whose criminal responsibility will be assessed by the popular jury in the coming days, before the court passes sentence.

]]>During the third day of the trial being held at the Provincial Court of the Balearic Islands, the defense insisted on the mental health of the accused, identified as I.C.N., a key point for the legal strategy. Her son declared that, despite the diagnosis, his mother «is a normal person» and that the disorder did not affect her daily life.
During the opening of the trial, the prosecutor had already advanced that the woman suffers from schizoaffective disorder, although she remarked that «she knew perfectly well what she was doing and had the will to do it», without showing nervousness or empathy at the time of the facts.
I.C.N.’s son assured the court that his mother was not experiencing financial difficulties, thus dismissing one of the possible motives put forward by the prosecution.
«She has no mortgages and no expenses,» he said, adding that he was unaware of any relationship between his mother and the victim’s son.
One of the key pieces of evidence against the accused are the recordings in which she is seen leaving her house at times coinciding with the fire. In these images the woman is wearing different clothes and her face is covered with a veil.
«She wore a veil so that the neighbors could not see her,» said the Guardia Civil investigators, insisting that the woman seen in fifty recordings is the accused «without any doubt».
In this context, the son reported that his mother went out for walks covered with scarves or hats since she suffered an attempted hit-and-run and death threats by an ex-partner, events that she reported to the Office of the Dona del Consell de Ibiza. Since then, she avoided going out at peak hours and modified her routines for fear of her aggressor.
«He always went out very early in the morning or at night to avoid running into him,» explained his son, who argued that this behavior was not an attempt to hide him.
Despite the defense line, the prosecution maintains that I.C.N. is responsible for the arson resulting in death, for which revisable permanent imprisonment is requested.
The investigation is supported by recordings from 54 security cameras, which place it just 350 meters from the scene of the fire in the early morning hours of August 3.
One of the Civil Guard agents explained during his statement that, when searching the defendant’s home, they identified a white bag with a blue and pink logo, as well as Skechers sneakers. These elements coincide with those worn by the woman captured in the images that morning.

]]>The woman stated that the defendant came to demand money from her in an intimidating tone following a suicide attempt by her partner, the son of the deceased. «You have laughed at me, but you don’t know who you are playing with. I want you to pay me 500 euros or else you’re going to find out. «he claimed he told her over the phone. The family had managed to get him to leave the house days earlier, where, he said, he had quickly moved in and started making unauthorized decisions.
The victim’s daughter insisted that the defendant had keys to the house and that personal items, such as a wedding ring, had disappeared since her arrival. She also related that her constant presence generated concern from the beginning.
During the oral hearing, the defendant’s son also testified, who explained that his mother hardly ever left the house for fear of an alleged hit-and-run attempt by an ex-partner. He added that it was common for the woman to wear hats or scarves. This detail attracted attention, as investigators have highlighted in the trial that security cameras captured the accused on the night of the fire with her face hidden behind a veil as she left her home.
The trial, which is being held with a Jury Court, started last Monday. The Prosecutor’s Office accuses the woman of a crime of murder and another of arson, and claims for her revisable permanent imprisonment. According to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the deceased elderly man was totally dependent and could not leave the house when the fire started, which caused his death. The other person sleeping in the house was saved.

]]>According to what was known this morning in the trial, the defendant had a previous record for having sprayed acid on the face of an ex-partner and disfigured it. In addition, according to the investigators, the cameras captured the accused entering and leaving her home at times «compatible» with the deadly fire.
The investigating officers have testified this Wednesday in the trial with popular jury that follows in the Provincial Court of Palma against a woman accused of causing, on August 3, 2023, a fire in a house in Ibiza in which ended up dying an elderly man who was disabled and for which the prosecution claims to be sentenced to revisable permanent imprisonment for murder.
The agents of the Benemérita have stressed how lucky they were to be able to count, in addition, with the security cameras of the suspect’s home.
In these recordings, the woman was seen – the times matched before and after the notice of the fire given by a neighbor of ses Païsses to 112 – leaving and returning with different clothes and with her face covered with a veil.«She was wearing a veil so that the neighbors could not see her«, they have pointed out, insisting that the woman seen in half a hundred recordings is the accused «without any doubt».
According to them, the«criminal hand» was clearly seen in the first inspections of the fire in the house and, although initially it was pointed to the victim’s son, this was quickly ruled out because it was confirmed that at the time of the facts he was admitted to the psychiatric area of the Hospital Can Misses.
Suspicions then fell on the accused after, on the one hand, another daughter of the victim pointed in her statements to confrontations and conflicts and, on the other hand, the psychiatrists at the hospital, who had previously treated her, pointed out the «strangeness» of the relationship she maintained with the victim’s son, whom she had «hooked and manipulated».
One of the agents, in addition, has confirmed an extreme that a psychiatrist already pointed out in the previous session, regarding the implication of the defendant in a fire in which a person lost his life. The defendant appeared in the police records with a violent background. He had once sprayed acid on an ex-partner and disfigured her face.
All the investigations, they have pointed out, led the Benemérita to conclude that the accused left shortly after 01.00 hours on August 3, 2023 from her home hiding her face «deliberately» and hiding the bag that she would carry on her return, that she left her phones at home and that she walked to ses Païsses in a half-hour journey.
Once there, according to the agents’ account, he entered the house «without problems» knowing that the elderly were sleeping soundly. Since he knew the house, he was able to navigate it «in complete safety» and had time to change.
In the house, they added, he took some cushions, placed them next to the tank of the car he had parked in the garage and set them on fire. He then set fire to the sofa. However, the garage fire was slower than the one in the house and he left the house without waiting for the garage fire to catch fire.
Then, according to the civil guards, shereturned to her home with a change of clothes, where she arrived at about 02:00 hours after crossing paths with the fire and police teams that were on their way to the scene of the flames.
For the Guardia Civil agents, there is no doubt that the accused acted in this way as a «reprisal» against her partner’s family.
After the arrest, they added, the woman’s home was searched and the sneakers and purse seen in the videos were found. They have also emphasized that several lies that they detected in several spontaneous demonstrations to the agents.
In addition, manipulative conversations with her partner, the victim’s son, in which she tried to accuse the caregiver, were found on the cell phones.
The Jury Court of the Provincial Court holds from Monday the trial against a woman for allegedly setting a fire in a house where two elderly people she was taking care of were sleeping, one of whom died, in August 2023 in Ibiza.
She is charged with one count of murder and one count of arson and the prosecution requests that she be sentenced to life imprisonment.
According to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, at the time of the events one of the elderly was a totally dependent person, was unable to leave the property and died.
