The 28 year old said he did so when she threatened to tell the police that he had raped her.

The 28 year old Uruguayan waiter, Santiago Victor D.S. known in the press as ‘Gordo’, has admitted that he killed the Italian tourist, Federica Squarise in the early hours of July 1 in Lloret de Mar.

He told the court in Girona that he had consensual sex with the woman who then threatened to charge him with rape, and so he decided to kil her by putting clothes in her mouth and then suffocating her with his hands.

The magistrate ordered jail with no bail. Under Spain’s penal code he faces between 15 and 20 years in prison for the murder, and between 6 and 12 years more for the sexual aggression.
