From the Twitter account of the Judiciary indicated that the 9th Court of Guarantee of Santiago decreed during this day the pre-trial detention of those who are accused of two crimes of simple homicide, one consummated and one frustrated, occurred on the night of this Saturday in the commune of Maipú.The tragic fact was recorded and widely disseminated on social networks, starting all with a collision between two vehicles at the intersection of Las Naciones streets , which led to a heavy fight between the occupants of both cars. While this was happening, a van approached the site, which rammed two people: a 23-year-old boy, who died at the scene, and his 45-year-old father, who is hospitalized in serious condition.
