 According to Romero, he hit Maroto by accident, exited the car, and tried to resuscitate her without success.He believed that she was dead, and fearing that this would out him as the murderer of Ibáñez and Dotor, he resolved to put Maroto in the car's trunk and the bicycle in the backseat, and throw both in different water wells in the country.After disposing of the bicycle, he drove to an abandoned farmstead and began to undress Maroto.
