(AFP) Prosecutors want the Moroccan man suspected of staging last year’s machete attack on two Spanish churches, killing a church official, to face 50 years behind bars, court documents showed Friday.
The suspect, Yassine Kanjaa, 26, is charged with terrorist murder for killing the sacristan, prosecutors wrote in the document, a copy of which was seen by AFP.
He is also charged with the attempted terrorist murder with injury for his attack on two other people, one a priest, the [prosecutors] wrote.
The attacks took place in the southern port town of Algeciras on January 25, 2023, when the suspect “took a large machete” and entered San Isidro church, badly wounding a priest before entering a second where he chased the sacristan and killed him.
