Carcaño maintains eight different accounts of Marta del Castillo's death
Diario de Sevilla examines in a videopodcast the contradictions in Miguel Carcaño's statements about the murder of the 17-year-old from Seville in 2009, a case that remains unsolved due to the disappearance of the body.
Contradictions in the convicted man's statements
Diario de Sevilla has published the second episode of a videopodcast dedicated to the murder of Marta del Castillo, a 17-year-old from Seville who was killed on 24 January 2009. The case, which remains unsolved after more than 17 years, has maintained its impact throughout Spain because the victim's body has never been found.
The videopodcast is part of a series of four episodes linked to the book "Marta del Castillo: the cracks in a crime without a body", written by Jorge Muñoz, managing editor of Diario de Sevilla, together with lawyers Mónica Gallardo, Paloma Pérez and Inmaculada Torres, who took part in the judicial proceedings. The publication, edited by El Paseo, constitutes an exhaustive analysis of case file 746/2009.
In the broadcast episode, the eight different versions that Miguel Carcaño has presented about the facts are examined. Carcaño was convicted of the murder, although the lack of physical evidence of the body has left gaps in the investigation. The other defendants in the proceedings were acquitted of the charges of obstructing justice.
The analysis includes statements from the defence lawyers about details revealed minutes before the trial began, as well as reviews of the motive for the crime and the subsequent activities aimed at concealing the body. The roundtable discussion, moderated by Fernando Pérez Ávila, a journalist specialising in crime reporting, examines crucial aspects of the case that after 17 years continues to raise questions about what failed in the original investigation.
