Then Ismael set the house on fire to hide the evidence. What led him to allegedly murder his father and what responsibility does his friend have? According to the prosecutor, the defendant, aware of Ismael’s introverted character and low self-esteem, easily manipulated, tried to gain her trust in order to obtain money from her friend’s parents.
