Patrick Nogueira

He murdered the family in August 2016, sending live updates to his friend Marvin Henriques Correia in Brazil.

[3] In 2013, he stabbed his teacher non-fatally in front of his class "because he called me a faggot"[2] and served 45 days in youth detention,[4] and six months of psychiatric treatment.

[2] At the end of his treatment, Nogueira moved to Europe in the dream of becoming a professional footballer, while living off his father's money.

His uncle chided him for walking around the house in his underwear, and pledged to report Nogueira to the police for deportation when his three-month visa expired.

[4] Nogueira researched "How to kill someone in three seconds" before taking the bus to Pioz, arriving at 2:00 pm with two pizzas for the family to eat.

Unable to find soft ground for his planned burial of the corpses, he dismembered them and put them in bin bags.

[8] Investigators at first believed that the murders were related to drug gangs, as the family had barely furnished the new house or met their neighbours, as if they were hiding.

[16] The original sentence was reinstated by the Supreme Court of Spain in May 2020, and also ordered Nogueira to pay €411,915 to relatives of the victims.

[15] The friend with whom Nogueira communicated on the day of the murder, Marvin Henriques Correia, was charged in the Brazilian state of Paraíba with being an accomplice.

Officials speculated that the reason was the "jail law", in which those who commit serious crimes against children and women are executed by the prison population.

The series centres on the question of whether or not Marvin Henriques Correia was an accomplice by reading Nogueira's WhatsApp messages in Brazil.
