"Don't twist the facts," said Lorena Andrade, the boy's stepmother, and added that he "died under the care of these people," referring to his biological mother, Mariela Altamirano, and her partner. "I called her a murderer," the woman emphasized in statements to the press. Both Altamirano and her partner, Maicon González, are considered the main suspects in the boy's death, which resulted from a series of traumas, although his mother asserted that the child fell ill and died shortly after. The boy was in the care of his biological father, Luis López, who had a relationship with Andrade. However, by order of Family Court Judge Juan Pablo Pérez, a process of reconnection with Altamirano was initiated, despite the fact that she had abandoned him when he was only one year old. Thousands of people marched through the streets of Comodoro Rivadavia tonight to demand justice and clarification for the death of four-year-old Ángel López, who died a few days ago as a result of a presumed murder. Relatives, neighbors, and acquaintances self-organized for a march from the city's main square to the prosecutor's office, where they sang chants against the judicial authorities while chanting "They all must go, not one should remain...", amidst widespread indignation. With signs, photos of the minor, and candles, the demonstrators repeatedly demanded "justice" not only for Ángel's death but also for the deaths of Valeria Schwab and Diego Serón, other cases that had recently shocked the local community, according to the Noticias Argentinas agency.
