The Prosecutor's Office and the family of Romina Celeste Nuñez, the young Paraguayan woman allegedly murdered in the early hours of New Year's Day 2019 in the house where she lived with her husband in the El Palmeral urbanization of Costa Teguise, requested this Wednesday that the pre-trial detention of Raúl Díaz Cachón, accused of her death, be extended for two years.
Díaz Cachón has been in the Tahíche prison since January 16, 2019 and the Arrecife Investigating Court number, which has carried out the investigation of the case, held an oral hearing this Wednesday, January 13, to decide on the situation of Díaz Cachón's provisional imprisonment. The legislation establishes that when an accused person completes two years of conditional imprisonment without the investigation of the case having been completed and the trial held, they must be released or, taking into account special circumstances, the judge may extend the preventive imprisonment for two more years.
That is what, in addition to the Prosecutor's Office and the family of Romina Celeste, the popular accusation, exercised by the Canarian Institute of Equality, also requested. In addition to being suspected of the homicide of his wife, Raúl Díaz Cachón is accused of habitually mistreating her and desecrating her corpse.
