This lad was executed by the 'garrote' because of killing a policemanin 1974. For some reason a military crime under Franco's regime: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Puig_Antich

The "policeman" was a member of the guardia civil, a paramilitary police (gendarmerie) and today still under a hybrid control by the ministries of interior and defence.
