Key legal question
Whether the homicide qualified as assassination under Art. 112 CP
Extracted holding
The killing was committed with a particularly odious lack of scruples, driven by pride and executed coldly and methodically; the qualification of assassination was upheld.
Extracted reasoning
The court considered the totality of motives, manner of execution, and post-offense conduct, including attempts to conceal the body and destroy traces, which revealed extreme egoism and contempt for life.
