dbo:abstract
  • El caso Wanninkhof es un caso de error judicial que sucedió en Andalucía (España) cuando, en un ambiente de histeria popular creado por los medios de comunicación y en un juicio plagado de irregularidades por parte de las autoridades judiciales y policiales, Dolores Vázquez Mosquera fue declarada culpable por un jurado popular de la muerte de Rocío Wanninkhof, quien había sido asesinada en octubre de 1999 cerca de Mijas, provincia de Málaga.​ Unos años después el caso dio un vuelco al resolverse otro asesinato posterior, el de la joven Sonia Carabantes, en agosto de 2003 y descubrirse que el ADN del asesino de Sonia Carabantes coincidía con el ADN encontrado en pruebas del caso Wanninkhof.​ Es uno de los ejemplos de la denominada "Pena de telediario", es decir, la acusación ante la opinión pública de una persona con base en lo expuesto en los medios de comunicación sin disponer de pruebas concluyentes y sin respetar la presunción de inocencia.

  • Rocío Wanninkhof Hornos (9 November 1979 – 9 October 1999) was a Dutch-Spanish teenage girl who was murdered in her hometown of Mijas, Málaga, Spain, a town located on the Costa del Sol. In 2001, amidst popular pressure and a media circus (defined at times as a "public lynching" of the accused), a jury trial convicted 52-year-old María Dolores "Loli" Vázquez, the estranged lover of Wanninkhof's mother Alicia Hornos, for the murder, even though there was no evidence relating her to the crime. This miscarriage of justice has been blamed on prejudices about Vázquez's homosexuality and the fabrication of an unsubstantiated narrative about her being a "dominant", "predatory" lesbian. Others have also cited malinterpretations of Vázquez's behavior due to her Galician extraction and traditional British education being in dissonance with local social norms, attitudes and expectations. Three months after Vázquez's conviction, the High Court of Andalusia overturned the sentence and ordered a new trial. However, all charges against Vázquez were dropped when DNA found near Wanninkhof's body was matched to Tony Alexander King, a 32-year-old British sex offender with a long criminal history in the United Kingdom, and who was also identified through DNA as the perpetrator of the murder of 17-year-old Sonia Carabantes in Coín in 2003. King was convicted of both murders and sentenced to 55 years in prison. The whole affair is popularly known in Spain as the Wanninkhof Case (Caso Wanninkhof). Vázquez's conviction has been named as the biggest miscarriage of justice in the judiciary history of Spain since the 1910 "Crime of Cuenca". (en)
