To prison allegedly involved in the crime of a woman whose body was found in the Atrato river
The victim was a cousin of the alleged murderer. The Legal Medicine report indicates that the woman was strangled.
Jhon Edward Muñoz Gallo did not accept charges for the crime of aggravated femicide, after being accused of murdering his cousin in the Carmen de Atrato municipality (Chocó).
The forcefulness of the probative material provided by a prosecutor from the Chocó Section, allowed a judge with a guarantee control function in Quibdó to send Jhon Edward Muñoz Gallo to prison, allegedly responsible for the femicide of one of his cousins.
The events investigated occurred on April 22 in the municipality of Carmen de Atrato (Chocó).
Testimonies and videos from security cameras showed that the victim and the alleged attacker; cousins to each other, they would have had an argument some time ago during a family reunion, in which the man would have threatened to kill her.
Apparently, this type of actions would have occurred on past occasions, some in the presence of family and friends. Witness versions affirm that that night they saw the woman walking and conversing in a commercial establishment with the person investigated.
After this they would have gone, together with another person, to the village of La Sierra de Carmen de Atrato, where the young woman lived. Apparently, when the defendant arrived, he would have told the other person who was accompanying them to leave and threatened him.
According to the investigation, the defendant would have dragged her to a vacant lot where she was beaten and suffocated. Her body was found in the Atrato River, near the village of La Mariela.
The opinion issued by the National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences indicates that the woman was strangled.
The Prosecutor’s Office charged the defendant with the crime of aggravated femicide, a charge that was not accepted.
