The company Lazarus Technology, in charge of carrying out the expert opinion on the telephone of Miguel Carcaño, convicted of the death of the young Sevillian Marta del Castillo in 2009, has finished the work of studying the device after two years, a study that offers "juicy information ” about the movements of the murderer of the young woman the night of the event.
This was indicated to the Efe agency by the executive director of the company, Manuel Huertas, who explained that the report could be completed two years after the start of the procedures for it, and that "with all due caution and pending for the judge to see”, offers “valuable information so that, if so determined, it can be used by the police”.
The first procedures for this study began on March 25, 2021, when the judge investigating the whereabouts of the body of Marta del Castillo asked the police if it was possible to clone the mobile phone of the confessed perpetrator of the murder, Miguel Carcaño, to determine where he was at the time of the events, on the night of January 24 to 25, 2009.
The Investigating Judge number 4 of Seville, Álvaro Martín, thus responded to a new request from the victim's parents as a result of a journalistic investigation after a specialist informed them that there is a new technique to reconstruct the geolocation of the terminal that would allow know in detail the places where Carcaño was. It is, in fact, the last line of investigation open on the case.
Lazarus, as Manuel Huertas has recalled, delivered a first 500-page report to the court, and has now completed some work that will be delivered to the judicial authority before the end of this month of March, culminating the work of five people in a laboratory during almost two years in a row.
A report that, he has detailed, "consists of several parts, but focuses on the analysis of mobile information", focusing on the locations of the device on the night of the event over the messages or phone calls it sent or received , and now "it is the police who will be able to use the data contained in the study."
Marta's family requested this test in the framework of the separate piece opened to locate the young woman's body, because it would be different from the one carried out in 2013, which was based on information from the repeater antennas.
Lazarus Technology has had to work with a clone of Carcaño's mobile after Marta's was never found, using a technology that allows information stored on a SIM card for decades to be obtained.
