With the femicide of Erika Aponteat the hands of Christian Camilo Rincon (died on the night of Sunday, May 14, following an attempt on his life) the son of the couple, until recently, was orphaned and in the hands of his paternal grandparents, who at first refused to let him go with his mother when she made the decision to leave the home where she was a victim of violence for so many years.
A new alert for the district authorities that since last Thursday May 11 They were aware of what Érika and her little one, only 8 yearsThey lived next to the femicide.
In a recount of the events that shocked the capital during the celebration of the Mother’s Daythe Mayor Lopez He called not to judge Érika – referring to her refusal to move to a shelter – or the authorities that dealt with her case. Which, according to what he said, would have acted immediately and offered him the measures of assistance and care provided for these cases.
According to the president, four days before she was murdered in the middle of her workplace in the Unicentro shopping centerÉrika went to the usme house of justice, where she received psychosocial and legal assistance, following giving the authorities a story full of “painful and systematic acts of gender violence, violence once morest her, intimidation of her son, instrumentalization of her son. She told us that she had systematic domestic violence (…) Érika’s panic was evident and her request expressed ”.
They offered him to stay in a shelter house together with her little one, but they had been separated since April 30, when she made the decision to move in with her father and sister to save her life. So even though he followed the protocol, he didn’t accept this offer.
However, “The commander of the Soacha Police, the May 12, made contact with Érika. He fulfilled her task and coordinated with her how these measures would begin to be provided, ”as detailed by Mayor López.
a police patrol used to make roundsseveral times a day, in front of his new home, but having to travel for his job, protection measures were insufficient and made room for possible encounters with the murderer, who “planned with clear cruelty and intention to attack Erika.” To the point where he missed his work several times as a driver of the Integrated Public Transport System of Bogotá (Sitp), without caring that he was on probation.
Rincón had already worked on three other occasions as Sitp driver and he had no problems passing the filters of the selection process; given that “He had no criminal record in the criminal and judicial record, which is what any company can verify (…) the only previous records of Christian Camilo are that he had been involved in two fights, one in 2021 and one in 2022, not once morest Érika, but once morest other subjects” who did not file a formal criminal complaint; thus preventing an open judicial process or a conviction from appearing in his record.
Now, regarding her little one, who is the only survivor of this whole tragedy, the mayoress said: “last night (May 14), the Bogotá Metropolitan Police went to the house where, presumably, the child (…) Erika, before moving to Soacha, lived in Usme with her partner, Christian; with her son, and with her in-laws.”
Who, according to the mayor’s complaint continue to have the child in their care: “We went last night with the Bogotá metropolitan police, who interviewed the child’s grandmother, who was the one who came knocking on the door, but the grandmother told us that she was not going to allow us access to the child. The metropolitan police have no jurisdiction to access the child, unless the elders who are in charge allow us to do so. Who might and should enter to take a measure of protection over the child is the Icbf defenderwho has already contacted the Mayor’s Office and the Police and will carry out this procedure today (May 15).
