The Violent End Of El Brujo (Part 2)

Damaso Rodriguez Martin grew up poor in the Canary Islands, but his parents tried to steer him in the right direction. He got into some trouble with the law as a teenager, but after joining and graduating from the Spanish Legion, he settled down in Tenerife, getting married and fathering two children. At face value, this seemed like a story of a normal guy, but outside of his daily life, Damaso would roam the mountains, becoming extremely familiar with the terrain. He also liked to spy on couples having sex, so when he spotted a young pair doing the deed in their Mazda, he decided that he wanted to join. Damaso walked up to the car, pulled out his gun and fired multiple shots at the man’s head. He then entered the car and raped the woman while her boyfriend bled to death right next to them. He then drove to a random area, abandoning both victims. The woman didn’t know how to drive, but she was able to navigate her way to a police station. The authorities asked around about a “night stalker” that knew the mountains, and all evidence pointed to Damaso, the man they called “El Brujo”, or warlock in Spanish. He was eventually caught and sentenced to 55 years. Thankfully, this psychopath was behind bars and was no longer a threat to the community, but then he escaped.
