 On the way back to Vitoria, on September 7, he latched to a 25-year-old woman from Zaitegui, María Dolores Cortázar, who had worked as a maid in Vitoria and began to converse with her.Once he was sure that no one else was around (a mail service employee had passed them and seen them talking together), he pushed her off the road, took her handkerchief and tied it to her neck, asking for sex and promising discretion and money in return.As the victim kept resisting, he threatened her and finally stabbed her multiple times in the chest with a razor.
