Villa "Pool Mastic" Cover of "The Truth" 02/12/1990
Cattle Brave slumbered, restless, when the roar of a succession of fourteen shots broke the same hit the frosty silence in the morning and the souls of three kids. They were two men who wielded the guns and both left in their particular firm bodies of fire for anyone who could or would read: a shaped section of small pellets that went through the clothes and bodies in clear downward direction, the other drawn with lead balls caliber who opened the meat in a path parallel to the ground. Two arms. Two types of ammunition. Two different paths. Two perpetrators of a triple murder.
Twenty years have passed since that December 1, 1990 it opened one of the most tragic pages of black history in Spain: the so-called 'crime of the three bullfighters' or' crime Mastic Pool. " Twenty years have passed and only one of those two men has purged their sins: José Manuel Yepes Palazón, then a young farm employee, who was sentenced to 81 years in prison for three murders. The other still has no face. To become identified as highly improbable thing, of little would. Twenty years have passed and crime prescribed.

was necessary to come to trial - "send eggs!" Would have sentenced the lawyer Federico Trillo-for The three experienced judges who formed the First Section of the Audiencia Provincial de Murcia, Carlos Moreno Millán, Francisco Vinadel and Abdon Diaz Carrillo Suarez knew interpret what the summary 1 / 1990, opened four years ago by the owner of the Court of Instruction No. 1 of Cieza, Pilar Rubio, betrayed and from page 342, belonging to Volume II, which initiated the report on the autopsies. A 47-page document, issued by the forensic just 24 days after committing the murders, which already reviewed in detail that the bullets were of two very different-shot and slugs, and the holes in the bodies grouped into two distinct types of trajectories. More than enough data, apparently to have guessed at that moment of presence of two shotguns and thus also of two shooters.
It was, therefore, until January 7, 1994, the day that the Board read his sentence, when the three judges ordered them to initiate efforts aimed to identify the second perpetrator of the crime. A person who, with José Manuel Yepes, gunned down in cold blood on a cold moonlit night, to Juan Lorenzo Albacete novilleros Franco, "The Loren '; Andres and Juan Carlos Rumbo Panduro. But it was demasido later. At that point, the investigation, as the bodies were rotting. Stank each of its volumes by the succession of different versions, biased, contradictory, incompatible ..., provided over many months by suspects and witnesses.

Jose Manuel Yepes, main accused
A skein that was not too busy with their origin, but had gone tangle with each new diligence, with each taking of statements, with each expert automatically or part ..., and four years later the new judge of Instruction 1 of Cieza, Antonio Videres, and was unable to unravel.
Now, after four decades have passed since the crime, there is only room for regret, especially the families of the three deceased, that with each new development on the subject see the wounds reopened pain that has torn so many times their hearts: the release of an involved, the output of the main prison convicted, the sentence that will prevent them from collecting any kind of compensation ... The news with now have stumbled is nothing more enjoyable than the previous. Is derived, quite simply, Article 131 of the Penal Code: "The crimes lapse after 20 years, when the maximum penalty prescribed for the crime is imprisonment for 15 or more years."
Something that resulted in this case means that the second murderer, however much they might be identified today may not be prosecuted, tried, convicted and imprisoned. Ever purge their terrible guilt. What is a free man. Safe. Unpunished. No other threat or load on their person than those derived from their conscience, if anything it works yet.
What happened that night? Cornered and massacred
The Loren, Panduro and Heading were three novilleros Bullfighting School Albacete that the December 1, 1990 they decided to 'do the moon' to the cattle ranch in Mastic Pool in Cieza. The election was far from casual. The Loren and her parents had for years maintained a relationship of close friendship with the property owner, an industrialist from Molina de Segura, Manuel Costa Abellán, who had made a fast fortune with the role of printers and diverted part of the money to satisfy his love of bullfighting. Thus, dreamed of having a herd of wild cattle of some renown and also had taken to the Loren, who defrayed the heifers and for those who had ordered an expensive costume even lights in Madrid.
All went well until the relationship, for reasons never fully clarified, and soured broke, giving way to distrust, suspicion and the desire for revenge. Everything indicates that, somehow, from this distance, the budding torero Juan Lorenzo Franco era had become the property of his former attorney in preferred scenario of some nocturnal movements, which would loosen cattle in the fields, mixed with tame bulls and steers are grappled in the light of the full moon.

Reconstruction of the facts by the judge
goes without saying that those facts were not well received by the employer or by the people of trust, a ricoteño based in Cieza, named José Yepes Saorin, and two of his sons, Jose Manuel, 19, and Pedro Antonio, of15, who was employed in farming.
car the night they all had dinner at Jose Yepes and between one and three in the morning, knowing that the moon was full and it was right time for a new invasion farm, Manuel Costa, José Manuel and Pedro Antonio they drove to Charco Mastic, also accompanied by his wife and youngest son of the former. They had barely gotten
the Toyota Celica and the access road when they saw the cattle removed and three human figures running between them. Descended from the brothers jumped Yepes, took a shotgun Franchi who had kept in the trunk, and began cross-country pursuit of the intruders. And at first one of them was wounded by gunfire, like Andrew Panduro, who was hit by dozens of pellets in his buttocks.
Terrified, lacerated by the leads, the valise were herded into a crossroads, a distance of about 300 meters from the farm. Land on a slope at the edge of an almond orchard, stood José Manuel Yepes, which gave him total control over a scenario eerily clear and lit by the full moon. Down, standing on the road itself, the 'faceless murderer, "a man well known and certainly Costa employee, had cut his career after three novilleros coming from an opposite direction.
"They all were shouting, kill them!, Not kill them!, Shoot! ... They got me all mad because I lost the nerves, "he confessed later before Judge José Manuel Yepes, describing starkly those moments before the shots that seemed suspended in time on the frosted branches of almond trees.

Burial of Albacete
Novilleros Twelve shots did the boy, who hit in the head, shoulders, at the mouth, arms ... Albacete youth. At least two more made the other murderer, two cartuchazos of posts, apparently made by a classic double-barreled shotgun, of which not automatically eject the empty pods. He took out the cartridges and had fired and are kept in a pocket, because, unlike what happened the casings by José Manuel Yepes, wielding a semiautomatic Franchi, were not found in the area.
In turn, Manuel Costa, who had arrived on the scene at the wheel of his Toyota, "did nothing to prevent murders," as was reflected in the sentence, despite pleas from The Loren, who shouted his name and cried for mercy .
Errors "in the investigation?
all failed from the beginning
The investigation of the incident was flawed from the outset by several circumstances. The first, the fact that the murderers after committing the crime and have shuffled and discarded several options to get rid of the bodies and burned and buried in quicklime, ran to Murcia to find a lawyer, Manuel Martinez Garrido, who had worked on occasion for companies Costa.
At the time until covenció Costa to surrender to the Civil Guard, which occurred about six o'clock in the morning, it could give some advice to 'minimize' the consequences of the terrible event. There is nothing in the record so stated, but nobody would have understood otherwise act in a lawyer. Not even have been honest to have acted differently.

Tests
Murders The truth is that between Yepes and Costa was able to improvise a plan that, in short, and as can be gleaned from the numerous statements in the summary procedure, would have been to the lesser of Yepes, Pedro Antonio, 15, is inculparía of the three deaths, was the most advantageous option for everyone, because as a minor could not be detained, "no mention of the person would be wielding the second gun, and Costa, who would be responsible to pay all costs of defense, would be exonerated the triple murder-this happened in the first statements, "noting that it had come with his car when everything had already happened.
Another factor that undoubtedly had its influence on the course of the investigation was the fact that the judge Pilar Rubio, without much experience behind them and still, understandably, no experience in a matter of such magnitude, himself assume the full weight of the investigation, including directing the first shots of statements from suspects.
Contrary to usual in these cases, relegated to specialists of the Judicial Police of the Guardia Civil, who had no opportunity to question those involved and, in general, were injured, none and thereafter discouraged to ruthlessly competing on the matter.
The outcome of the investigation process was not entirely unhappy nevertheless, it was achieved partially disassemble the frame, it was established that most of the shots had made the most of the brothers Yepes, José Manuel, and proved in court the "assistance needed" the farmer in murders . Worst of all, it never came to work seriously with the hypothesis that there had been a second gunman. And, as has been described, although since the first steps are peering data clearly pointed in this direction.

The father of the unconfirmed suspicion
Yepes
When the District Court ruled that the materials had been two murderers, and ordered the reopening of the record in Cieza to try to identify the 'faceless men', many eyes were focused on José Yepes, father of two employees of Costa. Not in vain had all the tricks to become suspicious: it was someone very close to the rest of those involved, their children have never reported, all participants in the crime had dined at his house the night in question and, while their offspring always claimed that he had been asleep, then fell into the account of his wife, Josefa, had said in his first statement to the Guardia Civil, José Yepes had left in his own car to the farm, following the rest. Subsequent interrogation
rectified as compromising women rally, and said he had been misunderstood. More data
José Yepes were pointed towards a path that started from his house just in the crossroads at which they executed the three bullfighters, which opened the assumption that he could have surrounded arriving by air. And even claimed to have no gun, the second weapon was never found, "the Civil Guard found in his home a cartridge belt with cartridges.

The suspicions and evidence in any case, never found the backing of solid evidence and the matter ended up sleeping the sleep of the righteous. Not even the promise of benefits received prison Manuel Costa, in exchange for revealing the name of another murderer, had no effect. The farmer always had his lips sewn so, according to some associates, was the absolute consciousness that betrayal cost him his life.

If you had little to fear the 'murderer with no name' from that moment, any anxiety will have dissipated with the performance, the last day 1, the twentieth anniversary of the triple murder. The offense has prescribed. A ruthless criminal will never get the punishment they deserved.
