He Article 140.2 of the Criminal Code It establishes that life imprisonment subject to review will be imposed on those accused of murder “who have been convicted of the death of more than two people”, and given that Marta Calvo was the third to die at the hands of Jorge Ignacio Palma, the Supreme Court has corrected the Provincial Court of Valencia and has ruled to modify the sentence.
Palma turned himself in and confessed to having dismembered Marta Calvo, and in light of the suspicions, the investigation was expanded to look for other previous victims, and he ended up being convicted of two other crimes (that of Arliene Ramos and that of Lady Marcela) in addition to the attempted murder of six others during sexual encounters between June 2018 and November 2019.
First conviction
It was the Valencian courts that imposed a sentence of 159 years and 11 months in prison, rejecting the permanent revisable prison sentence because it considered that the Penal Code only allows it to be imposed when there are “more than two” previous convictions for murder.
The Supreme Court has rejected the interpretation of the two previous murders without including Calvo’s, and has established that the maximum penalty can be imposed for a third crime on “serial killers”, as would be the case in this case.
