Jorge Real,convicted for the murder of Tony and Linda O’Malley, the British couple who died while house hunting on the Costa Blanca in 2002, has written a book based on his life and experiences in the turbulent years of South American history in the last century. Written from prison in Córdoba by Jorge Real Sierra, ‘Los Vuelos del Silencio’ is an autobiographical novel which tells the tale of David, a boy who left life on the streets of Venezuela to become a pilot for the drug cartels and the Contras of Central America.The author says he will leave it up to the reader to decide which is fact and which is fiction.On sale from Plaza y Janés next month, his publishers told El País they decided to go ahead in publishing the book as the quality of the content stands alone regardless of the author’s current situation. They also said the text has no connection with the crime for which he was sentenced.
Jorge Real was interviewed in prison by a journalist from El País, who he told writing the book during his time behind bars has helped him to face his internal demons, adding that any profit he gains from it will be for the family of the couple who died on the Costa Blanca. While still maintaining his innocence, he said he can’t find the way to ask for their forgiveness, nor for the hurt he has caused to others in his life.Jorge Real and his brother-in-law, José Antonio Velázquez González, were found guilty in 2006 of the murder of Tony and Linda O’Malley, a couple from Llangollen, North Wales, whose bodies were discovered buried in a cellar in Alcoy in March 2003. Real has another 28 years to serve of his sentence.
