In statements before the prosecutor of Salvador Mazza, Armando Cazón, José Miranda confessed that he and Rosmery were walking near the Yegua well when she fell into the water. Miranda, who did not know how to swim, left the scene and returned to his home in the Ferroviario neighborhood of Salvador Mazza, located more than 100 kilometers from the accident site. The area where the incident occurred is known for its danger, with deep waters and strong currents that flow into the Pilcomayo River, according to provided details.
Miranda's confession led to a change in the case classification from 'Illegitimate Deprivation of Liberty' to 'Alleged Femicide.' Despite offering to accompany authorities to the place where the tragedy occurred, Miranda will remain detained in Tartagal. Before the confession, Rosmery Aramayo Torres's husband had mentioned that she did not return home of her own free will, but subsequent investigations revealed contradictions in his account.
Rosmery Aramayo Torres has been missing since last Friday when she went out with her partner and only he returned, leading to his detention. However, in an unexpected turn, the man confessed that his wife did not cross into Bolivia as he had initially claimed, but had drowned. José Miranda, already charged for the incident, was under suspicion of having murdered her, making the case appear as a possible femicide.
A search in the area of the Pozo de la Yegua River is expected to take place on Tuesday in an attempt to locate the woman's body. Miranda was interrogated by videoconference, where he confirmed that his wife had died.
