Dilawar Hussain, the confessed author of the Morata de Tajuña brothers' triple homicide, sought information online about his own crime before voluntarily surrendering to the Guardia Civil on January 21, 2024. During the ongoing trial, a police officer testified about the findings from Hussain’s mobile phone, which uncovered evidence linking him to the brutal murder of siblings Amelia, Ángeles, and Pepe over a debt of 60,000 euros. The analysis revealed that Hussain had been present at the crime scene on December 17, 2023, and even returned two days later to incinerate the victims’ bodies, actions described by investigators as indicative of premeditated intent.
The prosecution is pursuing a 36-year prison sentence for Hussain, citing three counts of homicide and a violation of previous convictions. They argue that while Hussain exhibited some paranoid traits, he was not in a state of emotional derailment when committing the murders, as evidenced by his return to the crime scene and attempts to destroy evidence. Meanwhile, the defendant’s legal team is advocating for a reduced sentence, citing his alleged psychological disturbances and the confession he made to police, although the prosecution disputes the effectiveness of this confession since it came over a month after the killings. The trial, expected to last two weeks, will feature numerous testimonies from law enforcement and local witnesses.
