They accept prison sentences of two and three and a half years for trying to kill a man next to a nightclub in Seville

The two defendants, accused of attempted murder for injuring a man “with a bamboo stick” and “a machete” near a nightclub in the city of Seville, and who faced a nine-year tax bill, have acknowledged the facts and accepted prison sentences of three and a half and two and a half years.

As sources familiar with the case confirmed to Europa Press, the events occurred within the framework of a conformity agreement between the parties, which prevented the holding of a trial scheduled for this Wednesday in the Provincial Court of Seville. They also paid the victim 6,000 euros in compensation.

As can be seen from the preliminary conclusions document consulted by this agency, the events date back to the month of July 2023, when the two defendants, the first with a bamboo stick and a machete and the second with a machete, “with mutual consent and with the intention of putting an end to the victim’s life, pursued him near” a nightclub in the Andalusian capital “until they caught up with him”.

According to the State Ministry, one of the respondents hit the alleged victim “from behind with a stick” at the level of the neck, and the second, when he turned around, “stabbed him with a knife from top to bottom, from face to neck.”

The prosecution clarifies that the defendants “did not achieve their goal of ending the life” of the victim “through the intervention of other people who put an end to the attack and also through the immediate transfer to the hospital where he was operated on.”

As a result of the events, as reported in the document, the man suffered “injuries consisting of a stab wound to the neck and right preauricular area with profuse bleeding, an arterial profile with hemodynamic instability and hemorrhagic shock, an injury to the neck vessels and an injury to the arterial branch.”

It should be noted that the Public Prosecutor’s Office is also demanding for each of the defendants an absolute disqualification during the period of serving the sentence, as well as a ban on approaching the victim within 300 meters or communicating with the victim during the same period for 10 years.
