Jury Convicts Dilawar Hussain in Morata de Tajuña Triple Murder

The judge will now set the sentence after prosecutors requested 36 years in prison, with the defense seeking 30.

Overview

  • A popular jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict for the December 17, 2023 killings of siblings Amelia, Ángeles, and Pepe in Morata de Tajuña.
  • The panel found the victims were beaten in the head with a blunt object with extreme violence and rejected claims of a sincere confession or impulsive outburst.
  • The only mitigating factor accepted was a mild personality disorder that slightly affected capacities, with the jury affirming he understood the wrongdoing.
  • Jurors concluded he violated a restraining order issued in February 2023 for a prior assault on one of the victims and later revisited the house to burn evidence.
  • A separate proceeding addresses the reported killing of his prison cellmate after his arrest for the triple homicide.
