One of the most shocking events of recent weeks was the onslaught of Richard the Pope (21) who ended the life of Isaac Sus, a five-year-old boy, in addition to leaving his mother Deborah with serious injuries, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Flores.After surrendering to the police, on December 25, in recent hours declared for the first time before Judge Patricia Guichandut in front of whom he said ” “Because I had no record I got scared and went on long,” in statements infobae agreed to.

“That day I was going to eat with a friend down Directory Avenue, with green, normal vibe. When I reached the junction with San Pedrito I had the traffic light in green. A large-sized truck passed with the red light, occupied almost the entire coming. I tried to pass it since I had the traffic light in green, and at that moment I was distracted thinking about what it might be like for a truck to go red, at that moment I realized I ran into a woman,” he began. While the statement was expected to be longer, the defendant decided not to answer a few questions but did recount why he did not stop and fled: “I was very afraid, as I had no record and went on. I went to the garage to put the car away. I couldn’t believe what happened. As I got out of the car I saw how he was, what had happened and I grabbed my head saying I couldn’t believe it.”
“I asked the officers to let me tell their sister that I didn’t mean to do it, I’m a father and I know what it’s like to lose a son,” Ricardo Papadopulos.

“I was very bad, I intended to kill myself. I left and the next day I found out from the news that the baby had passed away. I never thought that was going to happen to him. I didn’t know what happened to the boy. I didn’t know what to do, where to stick my head against the wall,” he said of whether he ever trined the possibility of taking his life. Papadopules decided to turn himself in on December 24 at 7 a.m. “I spoke to Dr. Herrera and told him what had happened,” he said during his statement. “I told him he wanted to turn me in and he told me it was the best thing I could do. We coordinated that we would do it the next day. I turned myself in on December 25th. I know what it’s like to lose a baby, I have children, I’m a father, and I know what it’s like to lose a child. I didn’t want to go through that situation,” he continued.

He also recalled that when he was transferred to Mayor 14 he met Isaac’s sister. “I asked the officers to let me tell her that I didn’t mean to, that I knew what a father’s pain was, but they wouldn’t let me apologize to her or the family,” she said. Another line that was not taken in the indegatory had to do with the person featured in the garage security camera video getting off the side of the passenger in Papadopules’ vehicle, premise to be picked up by investigators as he would be a key witness.
