El chicle
In the early hours of 22 August 2016, 18-year-old Diana Quer went missing in the small town of A Pobra do Caramiñal in Galicia. The case went unsolved for over a year and gathered widespread national media attention.
In December 2017, 41-year-old José Abuín, aka "El Chicle", confessed to the murder of Quer while being interrogated for an attack on another woman, and revealed the location of the body. "El Chicle" was found guilty on 17 December 2019 of aggravated murder, kidnapping and sexual assault, and received life imprisonment.
The Spanish media were criticised by some for having reflected "morbid fascination" and "sensationalism". They were also criticised for revealing and publishing personal information and rumours about Quer's family, and for criticising her lifestyle.
