Prosecutors investigating the double murder of the couple José Enrique and María Mercedes del Río, committed last August in the Buenos Aires district of Vicente López, suspect that part of the criminal plan of the youngest son of the victims and alleged parricide Martín del Río was to incriminate his older brother leaving the murder weapon at his parents’ weekend house.
“A guy who did not tremble when putting a bullet in his mother’s forehead is not going to have any remorse in dirtying his own older brother,” one of the judicial investigators in the case told the Télam news agency.
The suspicion that the prosecutors now have stems from three elements: that the murderous 9-millimeter pistol was found in the house in the country house of San Diego de Moreno where Diego del Río also had access, that a few months ago the defendant’s defense requested that it be investigated to the older brother of his client and for several phrases that the defendant himself left in his last investigation sowing suspicions once morest his brother.
In addition, although it is not an element that appears or can be evaluated in the file, the team of three Vicente López prosecutors who investigated the case and is made up of Martín Gómez, Alejandro Musso and Marcela Semería, always knew that on the night of the 7th On September of last year, when he was arrested upon entering the Nordelta de Tigre country where he lived, del Río asked the DDI police officers: “Only me? Aren’t they going to arrest my brother too?”
“Martín del Río always knew that the murder weapon was in the safe at his parents’ house in the country of Moreno where his brother had access. And he was leaving in his two investigative statements and through his defender some clues and doubts regarding the brother so that we suspect him when it came out that that 9 mm was the one used in the double crime,” another of the judicial sources consulted told this agency. .
The hypothesis of the three prosecutors is that at some point between the night of August 24 – the day of the crime – and the early morning of the 25th, Martín del Río left his house in the Barrancas del Lago neighborhood of Nordelta and went to the country San Diego de Moreno to leave the homicidal Bersa Mini Thunder pistol in the safe that hours later the Police would kidnap.
The police officers entered the house on the followingnoon of August 25 with the collaboration of Diego del Río, the other son of the victims and brother of the defendant, who also provided the key to the safe, inside which the pistol was found. .
The lawyer Mónica Chirivin, defender of the detained Del Río, told Télam: “Why don’t we investigate Mr. Diego? On the 25th he entered country San Diego twice. He is admitted at 4:11 p.m. and the raid starts at 4:30 p.m. or 4:40 p.m. Can anyone believe that if Martín del Río had entered the country San Diego at dawn, the prosecutors would not have known? If he was monitored. Now they don’t know how to accommodate things”.
