This Thursday morning, a Feira court sentenced Adriano Campos to 19 years and six months in prison for shooting his former partner last year in Escariz, Aroca.
The defendant will have to pay compensation in the amount of 150,000 euros to the eldest son of the victim. The team of judges considered that most of the facts set forth in the public indictment had been proven. During the announcement of the verdict, the presiding judge made a special censure in connection with the gravity of the crime and the means used.
The man was convicted of aggravated murder and possession of a prohibited weapon. “It all happened very quickly, it was the devil. Mary Celestina said that our youngest son is not mine, she named me with …. it was because of this. This is how Adriano Campos confessed during a court hearing that he fatally shot his former partner in the head.
During the interrogation of witnesses, two family members assured that Maria Celestina was always ready to take a paternity test to prove that the youngest child (the couple had four together) belongs to the accused. In the end, Adriano Campos turned to the judging team with a request to forgive his children.
