Double crime of Vicente López: the letter written by the alleged parricide

The youngest son of the couple murdered in Vicente López, Martín del Río, the only one arrested for the fact, wrote a letter in which he maintained his innocence.” Hello, I’m Martín Santiago del Rio. The first thing I want to say is that I am innocent. My parents were killed. I loved, love and will love all my life my parents, Quique and Mecha. They were the people who raised me, they always took care of me through thick and thin,” the alleged parricide began. On her relationship with her parents, she said: “My father taught me how much or how little I am. Quique was my father, my friend, my teacher, and he always had the right word at the right time. We already knew, from the tone of his voice, if something was wrong. Mecha, my mother, was his co-equiper. She is always attentive to everything. The family always. Worried and attentive if someone needed something, super friend of her friends. She was my mom.” Then, he told how he started working in his father’s business, at age 17, when he finished school. “My father had several security and cleaning companies and some garages in Capital. I start in the garage business learning from him all the time.” “Working with them our relationship grew to unique levels. We were super cronies in everything. Add a lot of experience from him and my mother. Always super workers. Unique. Family and business were the most important thing,” he said. He continued: “All my life all I did was make them happy!!! Everything I could do I did. From affection, affection, enjoyment, always being present. Two moments were crucial to our lives: the illness of my mother and father. Two serious neurological diseases. In both with my brother we fought and fought to overcome them and we beat both of them. They were hard times of anguish and pain.” In another section of the text, del Río referred to his wife and children: “Since I was 19 years old I have been engaged and married to the most wonderful person in the world, Cecilia, the mother of my children, my great love. With her we grew, fought and fought to make our family happy and full of love. Those who watched us grow up know who we are and how much we always love each other. Until we are old like our grandparents. Two unique and amazing children. Children, I love you and you know who your father is and how much he loved his grandparents.” And he concluded: “Diego, dear brother, just tell you that I love you. In my life I would have done such a thing. Never. Old I love you and I will love you all my life. Thank you beloved old men. I’m going to fight to find out what happened to them. I’m innocent. They killed my parents.” Martín del Río, youngest son of José Del Río (74) and María Alonso (72), the couple murdered on August 24 in their home in Vicente López, was arrested last Wednesday when he arrived at his home in the Nordelta country.The investigators put their eye on him when they detected a series of contradictions in his statement about what he did on the day of the event. Images recorded by security cameras in the area, in addition, locate him near the place in the hours in which the homicide occurred. In the footage collected by investigators, the suspect walks with a particular renguera towards the scene of the crime, and Del Rio presents the same difficulty. The line of research now points to an economical mobile. Investigators are trying to determine if the defendant has debts and made some mismanagement with his parents’ money.
