Temporary prison for those accused of the deadly insult of cyclists in Castellbisbal

The judge ordered a temporary prison sentence, negotiated and no bail for the alleged perpetrator of the mass shooting of eight cyclists in Castellbisbal (Barcelona) last Sunday 21, where two died and the third remains in critical condition.

The detainee, a 41-year-old man, a resident of Martorell, was charged with fatal multiple hit-and-run, one crime of reckless driving, two crimes against life, four crimes against life in one trial level and driving without a license.

In the prison order, the magistrate argued, among other reasons, that “the risk of criminal recidivism is unquestionable” due to the background of the person under investigation, who is pending to serve two sentences for driving without a license, and who is also allegedly circulating. under the influence of drugs when he ran over the group of cyclists.

These and other events, said the judge of the Rubí Investigating Court number 5 on duty, show “his indifference for his own life and that of others” and that his driving “represents a concrete and certain which is a danger to the life and integrity of people.

So, in his resolution, the magistrate also noted that the person under investigation, despite the collision with the group of cyclists and the “very serious consequences of his action”, fled “without interest” in their condition and “when there is no help for them” .

“The behavior of the person under investigation indicates a complete disregard for standards as well as the life and integrity of others” due to the fact that “he left the scene of the accident with” knowledge of the extremely high probability. of killing “some of the cyclists,” the judge held.

This leads one to think, added the magistrate, that “the fear of answering for his actions can now worsen the high consequences he faces, without eliminating the risk that he will repeat his behavior -behavior” and stopped appearing at later stages of the judicial procedure, so their presence in the case could not be guaranteed.

The detainee recognized in the hearing held this Tuesday at the acting court of guard of Ruby being the driver of the vehicle involved in these multiple hits and, therefore, the author of the facts.

The car takes the police report, where it appears that the man was driving at a speed higher than allowed on this type of road, with “obvious symptoms of being under the influence of drugs and without a driver’s license.”

In addition, and “for no apparent reason”, highlights the provisional prison order, the detainee attacked the other line where the cyclists were spinning “without performing any maneuver to avoid running into the platoon”, despite of the fact that at that time of the morning “There is no obstacle to notice the presence” of them and “trying to avoid their anger in any way”.

In multiple accidents, which occurred before 11:00 am on Sunday the 21st at C-243c, at kilometer point 0.5, at Castellbisbaltwo men aged 66 and 72 and neighbors of Rubí died, and the third remains in critical condition in the hospital in Bellvitge.

In addition to these three cyclists, another was less seriously injured and taken to hHospital Bellvitgethe fourth was discharged “in situ” after sustaining minor injuries and three others were unharmed.

After running over the group of cyclists, the alleged assailant fled without helping the victims or calling emergency services to take care of them.
