Calls for a return to the death penalty in Spain have been set off by the rape-murders of three teenage girls in the Valencia region. The bodies of the girls, who were kidnapped in November, were found by two beekeepers late last month, buried in a deserted mountainous area. One of them had managed to write names of the presumed assailants on a piece of paper she was buried with. One man has been captured; another is still being sought.

The national press has followed the case closely since the girls' disappearance. On the day the bodies were found, TV stations broadcast live from the town of Alcasser, where the girls' families live.

Some 30,000 people attended the girls' funeral there this weekend. King Juan Carlos I expressed his sympathy.

Spanish law provides for a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison, but in practice this is normally reduced to 10 years. Though no political party has taken up the public demands for a return to the death penalty, the penal code is now being revised, and an end to sentence reductions in cases like this one seems likely.

Antonio Anglés

ONE OF nine children born to a family in São Paulo, Brazil, Antonio Anglés eventually moved with them to Catarroja, a small town near Valencia, Spain.

Later he kidnapped a woman who had crossed him, beat her severely and chained her to a post for one week, threatening to disfigure her with a knife.

She was eventually rescued by police; Anglés was apprehended and sentenced to eight years.

After two years Anglés received a six-day permiso, temporary freedom, for good conduct in prison. He never returned.

A few months later, on the evening of November 13, 1992, three young teenagers set off for a discotheque near their small town of Alcácer, just outside of Valencia.

It was less than three kilometres away, and in this rural Spanish community, hitchhiking was considered a safe way to travel.

But Miriam García Iborra, 14, Desiré Hernández Folch, 14, and Antonia Gómez Rodríguez, 15, never arrived.

Seventy-five days later their bodies were found in a shallow grave in rugged hill country some 60 kilometres away.

Physical clues led police to the house of the Anglés family. They arrested Miguel Ricart, who implicated the fugitive Antonio.

Ricart confessed that they had picked up the girls and taken them to a hideout.


They were tied down and raped repeatedly. Later, Ricart said, Anglés untied them and told them to get dressed. Then he shot each one in the head.

According to police, upon hearing on the radio that the girls' bodies had been found, Anglés coolly spent an hour at a hairdresser's having his hair dyed brown.

Then he reportedly stole his mother's life savings and slipped through a police dragnet, hijacking two cars in quick succession.

Three months later a stowaway resembling Anglés was seized by sailors en route from Portugal to Ireland.


The crewmen locked him in an empty cabin. But when the boat docked, the cabin's porthole was open. The man had vanished.

Despite an intensive search, there are no leads. "The day they catch him I will drink a toast to my daughter in heaven," said Fernando García, one grieving father. "I have sworn on the Bible to get justice."
