CRIME REPORT FROM CASTELLÓN
by Juan Salvador Salom

Criminal Chronicle of Castellón brings together nearly two hundred cases, presented with the utmost legal rigour and in clear, concise language, in which the author—a public prosecutor for forty-five years, thirty of which were spent at the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Provincial Court of Castellón—has either been directly involved or has gained first-hand knowledge through original documentation.

This book reveals, for the first time to the public, cases such as the execution by garrote vil at Castellón prison of a serial killer; the case of a neighbour killed by another because he was annoyed by the barking of the former’s dog; the case of the serial rapist in Castellón; the homicide committed during a duel mutually agreed upon by the combatants; the arson attack on the Castellón Provincial Council committed by one of its officials, and the murder of the mushroom picker in Barracas… These are just a few of the many cases that took place in this province, recounted exactly as they happened, providing a comprehensive overview of Castellón’s judicial history over the last few decades.
