On March 30 at approximately noon hours Spanish judge granted the initial permission for Alfonso Basterra, who has been incarcerated since his daughter Asunta's murder was discovered three years ago earlier this year (2017). The legal decision allows him a brief period outside of Topas prison to attend family events and receive medical care. This marks only the first time in over six months that Basterra will be permitted out, following multiple requests denied by authorities due to his status as an active fugitive since 2013 when he fled Spain after killing Asunta with a knife near her home
