translated from Spanish: Accused’s mother denies that her son shot sub-inspector

Yesterday, the Public Prosecutor’s Office set the reconstitution of the scene of the murder of PDI sub-inspector Valeria Vivanco, who was shot to death on 13 June in La Granja while participating in proceedings. The case was complicated this week when expert reports showed that the 25-year-old died in circumstances other than those reported, the prosecutor’s office removed the Investigative Police from the investigation, opened a case for alleged obstruction, and the PDI itself suspended three officials who participated in the operation until it is clarified what happened. Yamilet Calabrano, mother of one of the two accused in the incident, said that her son and the person accompanying him killed Vivanco.” From day number one he said that no bullet came out of the car. They didn’t walk around with a gun,” he told Chilevisión. “The two of them thought they might have run her over, but no bullet. When we all started to see that it was from a bullet we were surprised,” he added. The two defendants are 19 and 17 years old and were formalized on June 15, when they surrendered to the uproar caused by the crime. On that occasion, the prosecutor’s office charged a police officer with the crimes of illegal carrying of a weapon and murder. In that hearing, a ballistic expert report was even reported that the weapon used was the same one that would have participated in a crime committed days earlier in Puente Alto.On Wednesday the Public Prosecutor’s Office announced the departure of the Homicide Brigade from the case and put in its place the Carabineros Laboratory, which will lead the reconstitution of the scene on Monday.” My son didn’t kill her, let those who have to pay pay pay. My heart has it broken Why did they have to blame the two of them?” asked Calabrano.The father of the sub-inspector, Miguel Vivanco, told Mega that he will not speak until Monday’s reconstitution. However, he added: “We have very clear everything, super clear, and that’s why we want to talk properly.”
