The video images show the exact moment in which Yasine Kanjaa, a 25-year-old man of Moroccan nationality, chases the sexton, Diego Valencia, to strike the mortal blow. Between shouts, the neighbors attend a scene that plays out in very few seconds and ends with the sexton lying on the ground in the square. The images have been edited to preserve the identity of the dead person. After killing him, Kanjaa leaves the victim, walking slowly, and bowing to the neighbors who have been present at the crime. The attacker continued his walk and tried to commit a new attack in the chapel of the Virgin of Europe, although he gave up seeing it was closed. The journey ended a few meters further, right at the square facing the building known as the Escalinata building, where the local police located him. “He got on his knees and offered no resistance,” stated one of the officers of the (local police) while they set up a guard around Alta Square.
