The Provincial Court in Málaga has sentenced a British man to 12 and a half years in prison for killing a friend of his fathers with whom he lived in Torremolinos. The court found it proved that 41 year old C.B.C. killed the victim by hitting him over the head and stabbing him a total of 13 times, twice from the back and then 11 times face on. He then tried to hide the body in a room in the house for several days.
It happened at the start of May 2006 when the man, who went under a false name, lived in the house in Los Álamos, rented by a friend of his father’s, after having come to Spain from Thailand. He claimed in court that he had hidden the body but not carried out the killing. The body was not discovered until the 24th of the month.
The murderer was also ordered to pay 150,000 € compensation to the victim’s family.
The unanimous sentence from the jury in the case came after they heard that the man had already been sentenced to life in prison in Britain for a homicide and arms trafficking.
