Ramón Laso Moreno (born 1955) is a Spanish serial killer convicted in 1993 for the murders of his first wife and six-year-old son, and in 2014 for the murders of his second wife and brother-in-law. For Stern Crime we travelled through Spain to revisit the old crime scences and people involved in the investigation of his crimes.
Nine months later, Laso's car fell off a 20-metre cliff while transporting Laso and his six-year-old son. Laso was unharmed, despite claiming to have fallen off the cliff and been left unconscious for 15 minutes as a result of the incident, while his son was killed and incinerated.
Other family members feared that Laso intended to kill the whole family one by one, and hired a private investigator to find evidence that Laso had actually killed his wife and child. The PI (Jorge Colomar) proved that Laso had actually strangled his wife and that she was already dead when the train hit her.
Forensics proved that Laso had actually strangled his wife and that she was already dead when the train hit her.
Laso worked as an undertaker at the Amposta cemetery where his first family is buried.
After his release, Laso married Julia Lamas, who didn't know about his criminal past. Nonetheless, Laso also had affairs with other women including Lamas's sister Mercedes, who was herself married to Maurici Font. Laso proposed Mercedes several times to divorce their respective spouses and move in together, but she refused. On 29 March, 2009 Laso met Font in an orchard property of the former that both men tended to as a hobby; afterward, Laso picked his wife up at her workplace. She was never seen again.
The Mossos interrogated Laso several times. He manifested that he looked forward to the trial, believing that no jury could condemn him of murder without a body. However, he was pronounced guilty of both counts and subsequently sentenced to 30 years in prison, in 2014. Since he worked as an undertaker at the Amposta cemetery it is assumed, that he might have buried the bodies there.
