About Alfredo Galán Sotillo
Born 1978. Alfredo Galán Sotillo is a Spanish military personnel and security guard.
Aftermath On 3 July 2003, while severely inebriated, Galán surrendered at a police station and confessed to being "The Playing Card Killer." His confession included details about pen markings on the cards that were not public. Upon sobering up, he recanted, but ballistics irrefutably linked spent cartridges in his residence to the murders. It was reported that in some of the murders, Galán had wished his victims good morning and ordered them to kneel before shooting them.
He will be released in 2028 after 25 years in prison.
