Parents Demand Investigation into Prison Privileges for Marta del Castillo's Killer
Parents of Murdered Marta del Castillo Demand Investigation into Prison Privileges for Convicted Killer Herrera de la Mancha, Spain – The parents of Marta del Castillo, whose murder in 2009 shocked Spain, are demanding a full investigation into allegations of preferential treatment given to Miguel Carcaño, the man convicted of her murder. Carcaño is currently serving his sentence at the Herrera de la Mancha prison. Antonio del Castillo and Eva Casanueva, Marta's parents, claim Carcaño has been granted undue privileges, including access to a mobile phone, tablet, and Wi-Fi, which they believe is unacceptable given the nature of his crime. "We demand that Penitentiary Institutions investigate these alleged privileges," stated Eva Casanueva in a press conference outside the prison. "It is simply outrageous that someone convicted of such a heinous crime should be afforded such luxuries." The parents' frustration is palpable, their grief still evident years after the loss of their daughter. The allegations are supported by several former prisoners and family members of inmates at Herrera de la Mancha, who have spoken of a strangely close relationship between Carcaño and a prison official. While Penitentiary Institutions have yet to comment officially, the parents' call for an investigation has ignited public debate about prison conditions and the treatment of high-profile inmates. The case of Marta del Castillo remains a highly sensitive issue in Spain, and this new development is sure to reignite public scrutiny of the justice system and its ability to deliver fair and equitable punishment.
