Pepe, the man in the wheelchair who killed a thief in Barcelona's Bon Pastor neighborhood, will be able to await trial in freedom. This Thursday a judge agreed to release him provisionally, as his defense requested, and this afternoon he left Brians 1 prison, where he was admitted on April 7 and spent nine days incarcerated.

A few hours after the jailing of Pepe, the man in a wheelchair who killed another when he tried to rob him, some neighbors of the Bon Pastor neighborhood in Barcelona claimed that he should be released and justified that he had only defended himself. Pending the investigation's progress to clarify what exactly happened, legal experts consulted by ARA agree on the complexity of applying the criminal figure of self-defense, which can eliminate all responsibility in a homicide. "Whether Pepe acted in self-defense or not will be the star topic of the trial, which will be held with a popular jury," anticipates criminal lawyer Olga Arderiu.

The Bon Pastor neighborhood of Barcelona is still in shock over a crime that shook the community five days ago. En Pepe, a man with mobility and respiratory problems, allegedly stabbed a young man who had stolen a chain from him, and the thief ended up dying. The man has already been taken into provisional prison, a judicial decision that has outraged part of the neighborhood, which justifies it as self-defense and denounces that En Pepe is in a delicate state of health.

The Bon Pastor and Baró Viver neighborhoods of Barcelona are launching Al Son del Barri, a festival that invites you to delve into Catalan rumba and flamenco. The program combines live music, workshops, panel discussions, and exhibitions.
