Prosecutors in Argentina on Wednesday asked for life imprisonment for eight rugby players on trial over the killing of a teenager outside a nightclub three years ago, a crime that shocked the nation.
“I ask that they be sentenced to life in prison as co-authors of doubly aggravated homicide” as it was not committed in self-defense and was “premeditated,” prosecutor Juan Manuel Davila said at court in Dolores, a city 220 kilometers south of Buenos Aires.
The players from a small provincial club in Zarate, north of Buenos Aires, allegedly attacked Baez from behind and then beat him to death on the ground. “They formed a circle around . They all struck him and when they didn’t, they stopped anyone coming to help him,” said Davila. The assailants preyed on Baez’s “defenselessness, with no risk to the pack,” according to the prosecution.
