David Oubel

David Oubel Renedo (born 26 April 1975) is a Spanish murderer who killed his two daughters Candela and Amaia, aged 9 and 4 respectively, in Moraña, Galicia, on 31 July 2015.

Background Oubel was born and raised in Avilés in Asturias. Oubel confessed to his crimes in court, but did not explain a motive, and denied that he had a mental illness. Jose Enrique Abuín Gey, aka "El Chicle", another Galician serving a life sentence for the murder of Diana Quer, is also incarcerated there. Prison staff have described Oubel as an isolated man who does not speak to staff or inmates.

In 2022, the mother of the girls criticised a television company for approaching her for a docuseries about the murders. While she said no to any involvement, the producers then said that the events were in the public interest and could be dramatised without her permission.

By June 2023, Oubel had only paid €258 of the €300,000 compensation to the mother, compared to her legal expenses of €20,000. The mother, who had to move house and was unable to work due to grief, said that the state should pay compensation to families of murder victims, as it is in the case of terrorism.
