Judge Orders Pretrial Detention Without Bail in Almedinilla Bar Owner Killing

Prosecutors are evaluating the charge classification following the suspect’s refusal to testify in Priego de Córdoba.

Overview

  • An investigating court in Córdoba remanded the detained neighbor to provisional custody without bail over the 27 August shooting inside the Oasis bar.
  • The suspect declined to make a statement in court, and the instruction phase will determine whether the case is treated as homicide or murder.
  • Guardia Civil arrested the man at his home within hours of the killing after the victim was shot at least twice, including once in the head.
  • Sources describe the detainee as a regular customer and longtime acquaintance of 65-year-old owner Antonio Rodríguez, with no prior argument reported at the bar.
  • The Almedinilla council declared three days of official mourning and suspended official and festive events, as the family said Rodríguez had helped the alleged attacker with financial matters.
