The incident took place outside the Mas Pi restaurant. According to the prosecution, the defendant had been kicked out of the venue earlier that night. He returned armed with a large machete and attacked the victim, who had approached him in an attempt to de-escalate the situation.
Prosecutor Enrique Barata is seeking a 14-year sentence for homicide, while the private prosecution is pushing for 20 years, arguing it was a premeditated murder. The victim died at the Trueta Hospital due to severe injuries to his neck and shoulder.

Defense lawyer Carles Monguilod stated that his client admits to the facts but claims mitigating circumstances due to intoxication. The trial is expected to conclude next Wednesday after witness testimonies and the defendant's statement.
