      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/e00fc78d-13dc-444a-b56e-86ab94f95216_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>A jury has unanimously found the defendant guilty of killing a man to whom he owed money related to drug trafficking. The crime occurred in Sant Andreu de la Barca (Baix Llobregat) in May 2020, and the victim's body has not been found. Following the jury's verdict, the Barcelona Provincial Court ordered the defendant, Lluís B., to remain in pretrial detention, while the prosecution maintained its request for a 15-year prison sentence for homicide. The events that the jury unanimously found proven took place on May 11, 2020, during the height of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. That day, the victim, Diego Vargas, called the accused in a fit of anger and demanded a meeting to collect payment of a debt related to marijuana trafficking, a matter of contention they had been having since 2019. Vargas, as usual, called the accused to ask him to open the door. This was the last activity recorded on Vargas's phone; although he continued to receive messages, he did not reply to any of them. <a href="https://en.ara.cat/society/crime-without-body-uncovers-plans-to-transport-9-000-kilos-of-cocaine-in-submarine_1_5648290.html" >As AHORA explained, the lack of the body</a> —and, therefore, of all the evidence that could be derived from the victim— meant that the prosecution and the plaintiff had to work hard during the trial to highlight all the indications that pointed to the accused and try to prove the sequence of events.</p>]]></description>
