Judge Bernardo Campana rejected the request of the partner of Brian Quinchagual, who was murdered on May 7 of last year in Bariloche, to become a complainant in the case and thus intervene in the jury trial once morest Mauricio Buchaillot, charged with the murder.
Campana dismissed the proposal made by the lawyer Alejandro Pschunder, on behalf of Yésica Lorena Ceballos, to revoke the decision of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which had dismissed the incorporation of the woman as a complainant, because the legal procedural term had expired.
At the hearing that was held this Friday, Chief Prosecutor Martín Lozada asked the judge to reject Pschunder’s request. He recalled that Ceballos had the opportunity to become a plaintiff from the first moment the case arose and did not do so.
Also, the official defenders Natalia Araya and Marcos Cicciarelo, asked to dismiss Pschunder’s request. They remembered that the lawyer had lost the right to be a plaintiff when he represented Quinchagual’s mother and did not join the prosecutorial accusation or present the autonomous accusation when the preparatory investigation was completed. Therefore, the victim’s mother was excluded from the case.
Pschunder insisted in the hearing this Friday that the victim’s partner was entitled to that right and alleged the gender perspective, among other arguments.
But Campana rejected the request. “If there was no complainant or if that complainant did not adhere to the tax accusation in a timely manner or did not formulate an autonomous accusation, the case will be ventilated in the debate without a complainant. This is how the Criminal Procedure Code establishes it,” concluded Campana.
Ehe trial by jury will begin on September 18. Buchailot is accused of having stabbed Quinchahual to death on May 7 of last year, in the parking lot of the supermarket La Anónima on Avenida de Los Pioneros at 4,400 Bariloche.
