The National Court judge investigating the attack on two churches in Algeciras —which resulted in a sacristan being killed and four other people injured— has ordered that a forensic examination be carried out on the alleged jihadist to find out if he suffers from any psychiatric disorder at the purposes of reporting on their imputability.
Judge Joaquín Gadea, reinforcing magistrate of the Central Court of Instruction 6 of the National Court, indicates in an order notified this morning that this recognition will be made with full respect for the detainee’s right to defense and with his prior consent.
For this, the judge officiates at the forensic clinic of the National Court so that two doctors carry out a psychiatric examination on the person investigated. The detainee, of Moroccan origin, admitted before the anti-terrorist agents —and later in his judicial statement— that he had “full conscience” when late last Wednesday he wielded the large machete and attacked two churches in the city of Cádiz . He did it, according to police sources, “by divine imposition.”
In the resolution of this Tuesday, magistrate Gadea also agrees on a series of procedures such as also requesting the referral of the forensic medical report of the autopsy carried out on the murdered sacristan and the summons as witnesses of 16 people, including those who were injured in the attack last Wednesday in Algeciras, who will be offered shares as injured parties.
