Marcelo, father of Catalina Gutiérrez, the 21-year-old girl murdered in the city of Córdoba, is convinced that Néstor Aguilar Soto will be sentenced to life in prison for the femicide of his daughter and described him as a psychopath. Eleonora, the victim's mother, has maintained from the beginning that Néstor killed Catalina, refuting Lucía who claimed that Soto started demanding things after they were friends at first.
Soto was arrested at 6 in the morning on the day of the crime. Prosecutor Marcelo Sicardi modified the charges by removing the aggravating aspect of premeditation and adding homicide criminis causa, arguing that the accused killed the young woman to conceal the fact of having beaten Catalina. Carlos Hairabedián, the plaintiff's lawyer, supported this theory stating that Soto "first hit" Catalina and then strangled her to ensure his impunity.
Marcelo harshly criticized the defense's attitude, attempting to justify the crime as a "child's game where he got carried away." Several witnesses, including mutual friends of Catalina and Néstor, describe the accused as a toxic person with a pattern of psychopathic behavior. The victim's father emphasizes that the autopsy clearly shows how Soto killed his daughter and rejects the idea of inventing a story to justify the crime.
Marcelo states that the family is certain of Néstor's guilt in the murder of Catalina, supporting Justice and trusting that justice will be served. After the crime, Soto called by phone to express his surprise at Catalina's death, without any evidence to support his account. The young woman's father rejected the desperate defense strategy of trying to discredit the accused by claiming he was gay, when the autopsy demonstrated how the crime was committed.
Catalina's family remains firm in their conviction that the person responsible for the femicide will be sentenced to life in prison, while the defense of the accused attempts to undermine the seriousness of the crime. For Marcelo Gutiérrez, there is no room for doubt, and the assessment of Soto's behavior as toxic and psychopathic is supported by testimonies that reveal the true nature of the femicide.
