Adopted Chinese daughter suffocated
Print Edition
A Spanish lawyer suffocated her 12-year-old adopted Chinese daughter in a plan hatched with her ex-husband, a public prosecutor told jurors on Thursday as the couple’s high profile trial wrapped up.
Rosario Porto, a former lawyer, and her ex-husband, journalist Alfonso Basterra, were charged in 2013 of murdering Asunta Yong Fang Basterra Porto, whom they adopted when she was a baby.
The couple are accused of drugging Asunta with the sedative Orfidal periodically for three months and finally asphyxiating her on September 21, 2013. They both denied the charges.
So far the authorities accused the parents of acting together.
But in his final arguments to the court prosecutor Jorge Fernandez de Arguiz said Porto, 46, suffocated Asunta on her own in a plan developed with her ex-husband.
“He said he thinks they divided up the roles,” Porto’s lawyer, Jose Luis Gutierrez Aranguren said.
