Regarding the proceedings, the regional prosecutor, Roberto Garrido, explained that “during the elapsed time of the investigation we managed to gather a series of antecedents, specifically testimonial evidence and also expert reports, which allow us to position several people in the homicides. In that context, this entry and search order was requested, as well as the arrest of the people we believe were involved up to this point.”
Likewise, the pursuer reported that marijuana and firearms were seized during the search.
From the PDI, Prefect Luis Garrido explained that this procedure “involved four permanent institutions of the State: control and justice sector, Carabineros, Army and the certain support of the Public Ministry, which made it possible to obtain all the necessary input to in some way deal with these cases.”
“In such a way that today efficient results might be achieved, what we have already pointed out, the arrest of four accused in the crime and in addition to the other two people for violation of the drug law and the weapons law,” said the police officer
