Noelia de Mingo, the doctor who killed three people at the Jiménez Díaz Foundation in 2003 and who is now on trial for stabbing two employees of a supermarket in El Molar (Madrid) in 2021, has accepted a sentence of 33 years of confinement in penitentiary psychiatric center.
The Provincial Court of Madrid planned to hold the trial of Noelia de Mingo this Monday for the events that occurred on September 20, 2021 in El Molar and for which the Prosecutor’s Office requested nine years and nine months in prison for her for two crimes of homicide in degree of attempt and another of attack, although he claims that the incomplete defense of psychic anomaly be applied.
For their part, the two private accusations made by the two victims requested that they be sentenced to 15 years in prison for each attempted murder, while Noelia de Mingo’s defense requested that she be admitted to a psychiatric center for complete defense due to her illness. .
Before the trial, the accused has reached an agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office by which she recognizes the facts and accepts a sentence of fifteen years of confinement for each of the two attempted murders, and three years and one day for the crime of attack on law enforcement agent.
The agreement provides for a complete defense for mental anomaly and also provides for supervised release which consists of not approaching the victims within 500 meters for five years or entering El Molar during that same time.
It also stipulates that Mingo pays 110,000 euros to one of the victims and 50,000 to the other.
The president of the Chamber read this sentence “in voce”, aloud, and Noelia de Mingo, who remained shackled during the hearing, said that “yes” she understood and agreed with it.
In this case, the Prosecutor’s Office defended in its indictment that at the time of the events the accused “had a flowering of her mental illness (paranoid schizophrenia) in which the perception and understanding of reality were seriously altered and, therefore , limited his intellective and volitional capacities, although it did not abolish them,” considers the Public Ministry.
Remember that in 2003, the defendant received a complete defense of mental insanity for three crimes of murder, four of attempted murder, and one crime of serious injuries.
Noelia de Mingo was sentenced to 25 years in a psychiatric center for the murder of three people at the Jiménez Díaz Foundation in Madrid in 2003, where she was a doctor and where she began attacking colleagues.
He was released in October 2017 by decision of the Provincial Court of Madrid, which, according to the Penitentiary Surveillance judge and the medical and forensic reports, replaced confinement with outpatient treatment and family custody.
When he had been free for four years, on September 20, 2021, the events that he now recognizes occurred: he entered a supermarket and, with a knife he was carrying, stabbed a cashier and another worker, after which he confronted the agents who were to stop her.
