Los familiares de Pablo Ibar, "esperanzados, pero cautos" ante el testigo que dice conocer a los autores de los crímenes de Florida

Las dos personas a las que alude este testigo "no estaban en la cárcel" cuando se cometieron los crímenes y, además, ha apuntado, "hay una foto de uno de ellos, de los años 90, que se parece bastante más que Pablo a la famosa foto sacada del video"

Una nueva esperanza se ha abierto para los familiares de Pablo Ibar, que cumple cadena perpetua en Estados Unidos un supuesto triple asesinato. Dicen estar "esperanzados, pero cautos", tras la localización de una persona que asegura conocer a los verdaderos autores de los crímenes de Florida por los que se encuentra encarcelado el hombre de origen vasco, sobrino del legendario boxeador guipuzcoano 'Urtain', informa Europa Press. Así lo ha asegurado Andrés Krakenberg, portavoz de la familia y la asociación Pablo Ibar Juicio Justo.

Pablo Ibar, que en un principio estuvo condenado a pena de muerte por un triple asesinato cometido en Florida el 26 de junio de 1994, cumple cadena perpetua por los crímenes de Casimir Sucharski, dueño de un club nocturno, y las bailarinas Sharon Anderson y Marie Rogers.

En una entrevista a Radio Euskadi, Andrés Krakenberg ha explicado que este nuevo testigo, localizado por el abogado de Pablo Ibar, Daniel Tibbitt, tiene "un largo historial delictivo y participó en varios golpes relacionados con droga y asaltos, junto con los dos perpetradores, tanto antes como después de los hechos por los que se acusan a Pablo, que ha sido condenado a muerte primero y a la perpetua después".
Esto han sido 31 años de montaña rusa, desde el optimismo más fuerte hasta la desesperación más negra, y ahora estamos esperanzados, pero cautos.
Según ha precisado, este testigo no participó en los hechos por los que cumple condena Pablo Ibar porque, "al parecer, no pudo acudir ese día, pero sí que se lo habían propuesto". Krakenberg ha explicado que "en un allanamiento de morada posterior con los dos perpetradores, estos le comentan que habían sido ellos los que habían perpetrado este triple asesinato, que recibió en ese momento en Florida cierta atención mediática".

"Tanto el testigo como los acusados pertenecían al mundo de la delincuencia relacionada con el tema de drogas, que era algo muy endémico en Florida en los años 90", ha indicado.

Krakenberg ha precisado que este testigo "relata con bastante detalle" que lo ocurrido fue "un ajuste de cuentas contra el dueño del 'nightclub', que era la víctima a por la que iban, que ya había sido amenazado y por eso tenía cámaras de videovigilancia por toda su casa y que, casualmente, ese día estaba con dos de sus empleadas del 'nightclub' en su casa".

Tras hacer "unas pocas comprobaciones previas", Krakenberg ha indicado que comprobaron que las dos personas a las que alude este testigo "no estaban en la cárcel" cuando se cometieron los crímenes y, además, ha apuntado, "hay una foto de uno de ellos, de los años 90, que se parece bastante más que Pablo a la famosa foto sacada del video".

"Esto han sido 31 años de montaña rusa, desde el optimismo más fuerte hasta la desesperación más negra, y ahora estamos esperanzados, pero cautos", ha afirmado, para explicar que, ahora, el tribunal "tiene que decidir primero sobre la admisión con confidencialidad de los datos personales que hemos presentado y luego fijar o no una vista oral donde comparecería el testigo".

En ese sentido, ha indicado que, según les ha trasladado el abogado Daniel Tibbitt, esto puede producirse "en cualquier momento entre mañana mismo y seis meses".

Por su parte, Cándido Ibar, padre de Pablo Ibar, ha dicho que está siendo una pelea "muy larga" y el proceso estaba "parado", pero, ahora, esta nueva información de un testigo que asegura conocer la identidad de las personas que cometieron los tres asesinatos por los que fue condenado su hijo "le ha dado un poquito de ánimo" y "parece que está motivado", por lo que le informan la mujer y el hermano de Pablo Ibar, porque él hace tres años y medio que no le ve.

Cándido Ibar ha recordado que su hijo "está fuera del corredor de la muerte, pero con sentencia de por vida" por lo que "la pelea continúa y no sabemos hasta cuándo".

Saudi Arabia executes woman, 'terrorists', 'indecent' couple, and juvenile offenders

Saudi Arabia carried out a series of executions in mid-October, including that of a woman convicted of killing her mother and attempting to kill her sister, alongside five men in the Eastern Province.

Saudi Arabia | Execution caught on video

Public execution in Saudi Arabia (file photo) A Saudi newspaper has carried a film showing the beheading of a man convicted of raping a teenaged boy before murdering him in the heart of the desert. The rare and shocking 51-second film showed the executioner bringing down his sword on the defendant’s head, which was severed in just a split of second. The executioner, a tall man wearing traditional Saudi dishdasha (gown) and ghutra (head cover), then wiped blood off his sword with a piece of cloth after the beheading before walking away from the rapist’s headless body. Sharq newspaper, which published the film, did not say how it was shot as filming of executions in the conservative Gulf kingdom is banned. Newspapers said the unnamed defendant had been convicted of abducting the Saudi boy to a desolate desert area and raping him. He then forced him to lie on the sand and crushed him with his four-wheel car. Warning: Graphic Content ✔ RELATED VIDEO...

Christa Pike's Survival Wasn't a Miracle. That's What Should Scare Us.

What happened in Tennessee's execution chamber is one of the most common failures in medicine Christa Pike is awake. A week after Tennessee strapped her to a gurney and gave her two doses of pentobarbital , she is off the ventilator and speaking from a hospital bed, still shackled to it. Her lawyers call her recovery " medically unprecedented. " Legal scholars say she is the first person in American history to survive a lethal injection after the drug was actually given. I understand the impulse to make such claims. I consulted for Pike's legal team, but I have also spent three decades in operating rooms and intensive care units (ICUs), and I want to resist the word "unprecedented" and the word "miracle" that hovers just behind it.
