THE CRIME OF PEACE FERNÁNDEZ

This case arrives a few hours before the start of the trial with a popular jury that will judge the crime of La Gijonesa as of next Monday Paz Fernandez Borrego, the woman whose body was found in the Arbón reservoir, in Navia, in March 2018. For now, the popular court must determine whether Javier Ledo, a confessed author and with whom Paz Fernández Borrego had a relationship, is guilty or not of a murder or homicide and therefore, if as requested by the Prosecutor’s Office, he will face 15 years in prison for homicide, 25 in the case of the petition of the private prosecution requesting that it be considered murder. LA lawyer for the family believes that the aggravating factor of gender should be applied.
