A MOTHER who killed her daughter's rapist in a fit of rage in a high-profile case in the province of Alicante is now allowed to go home during the day and spend nights in prison only.
María del Carmen García's daughter Verónica was just 13 when Antonio Cosme raped her at knifepoint in October 1998, plunging the mother into a deep depression – and, when Cosme was on prison leave seven years later and attempted to provoke her, the distressed mum saw red.
Cosme, who showed no remorse whatsoever, asked María del Carmen 'how her daughter was' when he was hanging around a bus station near the family home in Benejúzar – a town he lived nowhere near, had no connections with, and was not apparently catching a bus at all.
He then went into the family's local bar, which they visited almost daily.
María del Carmen, in a combination of rage, fear and hysteria, went to the nearest petrol station, bought a vat of fuel and returned to the bar, poured the contents over her daughter's rapist and set him alight.
He suffered 90% burns and died in hospital within days.
