From conflict-averse policewoman to prison inmate – the puzzling journey of Raquel Gago 

The tale of the Isabel Carrasco case – subject of Murder Under the Sun podcast 1  is that of three middle class Spanish women plotting to shoot dead another woman – a senior politician no less. 

None of the women looked remotely like killers, but one in particular, Raquel Gago, the pacific, gun-hating local policewoman who ended up keeping a still-warm murder weapon in her car for two days, looks even less like a murderer than the other two.
