Argentine rugby players apologise for teenager murder

BUENOS AIRES: Eight Argentine rugby players accused of beating a teenager to death outside a nightclub three years ago in a crime that shocked the nation, apologized at their trial on Thursday.Defense attorney Hugo Tomei asked the court in Dolores, a city 220 kilometers (136 miles) south of Buenos Aires, for the “acquittal” of the eight defendants aged between 21 and 23.Tomei insisted that the prosecution, which has requested life imprisonment for the defendants, had not “proven the plan to kill” and said the victim Fernando Baez was not defenseless during the assault.Following an argument between two groups of people inside a nightclub in the popular seaside resort of Villa Gesell on January 18, 2020, the eight defendants allegedly attacked Baez, an 18-year-old law student, after they had been ejected by door staff.The players from a small provincial club in Zarate, north of Buenos Aires, allegedly attacked Baez from behind and then beat him to death on the ground.Images of the attack
