Trial for the murder of Cecilia Strzyzowski: Accused give testimonies
"If there is a guilty party, let them pay," she expressed before the court and the popular jury. In turn, she stated that that day she went to the house, as was customary, and that she did not see blood, nor did she clean the house.
Finally, she exposed: "I thank Marcela for everything and Emerenciano was very grateful," but she pointed out that "I never thought I would live this storm."
Fabiana González's Testimony
Fabiana González, one of the accomplices, was the second of the accused to testify in the jury trial for the femicide of Cecilia Strzyzowski, and spoke openly about her life and stated "they blame me for something I did not do." "Neither before, during, nor after did I speak with anyone, I don't know why I am suffering this situation," she stated.
She also expressed that "I should never have been imprisoned" and even added the ordeal she lives with the gaze of others: "I seemed like the biggest murderer in the world, they asked for life imprisonment for me, I don't know based on what, but I ask that you look at it with perspective." When I hugged him I saw he had scratches and he told me he had a fight with Cecilia," she explained.
In turn, she recounted what she saw in the afternoon of that day at her home: "In the house there is a door that never opens and that day it was half-open, something that seemed strange to me because no one entered. I liked her because she was older and I had the imagination that he would be able to generate a more stable relationship," she pointed out.
I was waiting for Gustavo to answer me, so he would tell me what the hell it was," she pointed out.
Before beginning to answer questions, she asked for forgiveness: "I am guilty of not realizing the state of health of my son and not thinking about the damage I caused to many people. There was a distant relationship between us, but we never had a single fight," she added.
Regarding the marriage, she recounted how she found out: "It was through social networks that I found out they were getting married and then I did have an exchange of opinions with César because I told him that if he did it he had to leave the house." There she stated that the young accused told her that he did not want a divorce, but that if he returned to live in the house he would do so: "I paid for the divorce."
"We stayed until 12 at night, we made a video and we took photos," she added.
"In the SENA field I saw nothing, not even a fire. We prepared the food and drank alcohol, I was with my ex-husband (Melgarejo), my daughter and my granddaughter".
"I went out alone to go to the kiosk that is inside Mr. Ríos's land." "On June 2, 2023 at noon César approached the work and I asked him why he didn't come early. I found it strange and the strange thing is that it was hot and he had a collar. Let whoever did it take responsibility".
After 40 minutes, Emerenciano concluded his testimony and the parties did not ask him questions. "I got scared and ran away".
"I sent a message to Gustavo and I tell him to go check." "Cecilia was just one of the many girls that César had. In addition, she confirmed that she is no longer in a relationship with Emerenciano".
"I silenced something that I don't know what the hell happened".
Marcela Acuña's Testimony
Gustavo Melgarejo's Testimony
Gustavo Melgarejo, another of the accused of obstruction, denied being involved in the case and recalled that in the days after the event César Sena and Gustavo Obregón appeared asking for a shovel. "Then they left and I never saw them again," he recounted.
Griselda Reinoso's Testimony
Griselda Reinoso, another accomplice, was the third of the accused to testify and said she was innocent, and when answering questions she clarified what she did on the afternoon-night of June 2, 2023.
"The only thing I say is that I am innocent of everything they accuse me of," she stated. Then, she accepted questions from the parties and when consulted about what she did on June 2, 2023 from 17:00, she indicated: "We went to dinner with a neighbor, Mr. Ríos. "We have been pointed out. But society already believes that I disemboweled someone."
After the burning were César and Gustvo Obregón." "What happened (with Cecilia) is aberrant, but I had nothing to do with it, and the worst thing, which I don't wish on anyone, is that they accuse you of something you can't defend yourself from," she expressed.
In this sense, she emphasized: "I wish I had known what happened, I never in my life defended someone who committed a crime.
Marcela Acuña's Testimony
Marcela Acuña, one of the main accused, stated that it hurts her "a lot" and recounted that she liked Cecilia to be her son César's partner, the fight she had with the young man about the marriage and what she did on June 2, 2023.
"I look, I see that everything was dark, I enter the first bedroom where we had all the things for the snack bar, I go to the other room, I observe from above because I was afraid that someone might be there, and when I go to the last bedroom I see a bundle, but it was not a body."
"Two years they blame me for something I did not do, I want to be with my children." In turn, she began to cry and stated: "They accuse me of something I never committed".
The accused maintained that he found out about what had happened to the victim when he was in prison and that he had no possibility of defending himself.
The other accused listen to Emerenciano's testimony
In turn, in tears, she stated that she believes they are going to condemn her for having "built the Emerenciano neighborhood." In her testimony she again installed her innocence and even spoke about how women should not be victims of violence.
"I ask for forgiveness from everyone, especially from Emerenciano." "They asked me for a shovel, they went to look for it and said they were going to look for earth for the plants. "They had a week to discover the truth. There was a media criminal process," she refuted.
Acuña also confirmed that the scratches on her son César Sena's neck were from a fight with the victim.
"We gave them the shovel, I continued feeding the animals. I asked him not to tell Emerenciano. I lied again to cover myself." "I hope there is justice, the one that corresponds. Justice did not take into account Cecilia's family." "I would never harm a person, a human being. They have destroyed my family. I did nothing. But no. They wanted a political position."
