The President of the Canary Islands considers the release of Romina Celeste's alleged murderer to be "bloody"

The president of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, considers it "bloody" and "hurtful" that the alleged murderer of Romina Celeste Núñez has been released after the maximum period of pre-trial detention has elapsed without a trial being held, and has stated that "you cannot have a 17th century justice in the 21st century."

In statements to the media after starring in an informative breakfast of Nueva Economía Fórum in Madrid, Torres said that "we must demand compliance with the deadlines" and reflect on why this sometimes does not happen.

"We should make an important reflection and not look for culprits, but look for all the means so that we do not reach cases like this that is bloody, that is hurtful," he declared.

The alleged murderer of the young Paraguayan Romina Celeste Núñez, her husband Raúl D.C., left the Lanzarote prison on the very day that marked four years since he was sent to pre-trial detention as the alleged perpetrator of crimes of homicide, mistreatment, injuries and desecration of a corpse on January 13, 2019.

Romina Celeste Núñez died on January 1 of that year in her house in Costa Teguise and her husband admitted before the investigating judge that he burned her body, dismembered it and threw it at different points on the coast of Lanzarote, although to date he has always denied having murdered her, since he maintains that he found his wife dead when he returned home in the early morning and that he was scared, because he feared that he would be blamed, since Romina had already reported him for mistreatment.

Now, the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands (TSJC) has decided to investigate ex officio the dysfunctions that may have been registered in the procedure and the Prosecutor's Office has asked the Las Palmas Court to force the alleged murderer to appear daily before a court, considering that there is a high risk of escape, even greater since he has moved his address from Lanzarote to Madrid.
