THE owner of the land where two-year-old Julen Rosillo died after falling into a well now faces a jail request from the Attorney General of Malaga that he be sentenced to three years in prison. David Serrano received the request under the charge of serious reckless homicide as it is claimed he was fully aware of the presence of the well but made no effort or attempt to make it safe. Julen Rosillo made headlines last January when during a family picnic in the area, he fell down the unattended well. A huge rescue mission took place and his plight captured the hearts of the nation, who were religiously checking for updates on his condition. Eventually on January 26 he was found lifeless 110 metres down at the bottom of the well. The boy’s parents maintain they had no knowledge of the well on the land and that David Serrano was the only one there who knew of its existence. According to the accusation brief, David has been requested to complete a three-year prison sentence as well as paying compensation to the family for damages and losses caused.
