00:00We are in the trial, today was the first hearing of Catalina Gutierrez, the father has just left, today they made statements, well in this case Néstor Soto has not declared, the mother of Catalina Gutiérrez was talking, she was also talking about who her boyfriend was, well we are now in the trial of the father of Catalina Gutiérrez.
00:17Let's remember the case a little bit, right?
00:19Good afternoon.
00:49The body of Catalina, lifeless, they had found her on a street, a few blocks away from Néstor's house and also from his family.
00:57Néstor, at the time, declares that he was precisely the one who killed her, and well, the indictment begins there precisely for him.
01:08Marcelo, good afternoon.
01:10Good afternoon, well, the truth is that today is not a day to celebrate, but in some way, with a lot of interest in our family, to seek justice for this atrocious crime.
01:29This person, his name is Soto, with my daughter, the truth is that today he declared my wife, he declared Lucía, guess my daughter, he declared the boyfriend, and well, as it happens in the facts and figures, there is the evidence that he killed her, obviously I confess, but well, the indictment is for what is allegory and what is murder.
01:53That's how it's going to be, that's how it's going to be, I fully trust the justice, but well, today the indictment did not declare, surely on the subject of his defense, I don't know what, tomorrow I think his mother and his grandmother will declare, but well, it's not to celebrate anything, but the only thing we want is for it to develop as little time as possible and to achieve, definitely, to have a little peace, especially for Catalina and for us, our family that we have.
02:22We are going to have to start a new life without Catalina.
02:53Yes, totally, totally, as you relate it, today in the testimony of my mother, my wife, in my honor, he was, he ratified what he said that night, as we were done, and well, after the evidence that the prosecution obviously achieved, right?
03:11As it was, he murdered her, he hanged her, he shot her, he tied her up and then he wanted to make her disappear, he wanted to set the car on fire with her inside, so he wanted to erase evidence, that's what the business is.
03:23And then the murder, of course.
03:25He used his trust.
03:27This murderer was sitting there, right? In front of you.
03:30Yes, yes, he was there, my wife wanted it, me too, and Lucia too, and Catalina's boyfriend too, because you have to see, of course, it's not a pleasant moment.
03:42Because the truth is that being in front of the person who killed your daughter, you don't know how to react, right?
03:50What was he doing, Marcelo? Because I understand that he didn't speak, right? What Belen was saying earlier.
03:59No, he didn't speak, I think he cried two or three times every time he declared a woman, because surely he remembered the disaster, the damage he did, not to our family, but to society as a whole.
04:10But well, as we know that he has also acted on another occasion and didn't even want to pass because he was not in condition.
04:17It doesn't matter, we trust justice and that it will have the chain of perpetrators for the murder and for the business.
04:23Now, Marcelo, you gave one of the keys.
04:25Many friends.
04:26At some point, well, there was a postponement at the beginning of the trial for a alleged psychiatric episode, he said he was unstable.
04:34At some point, I understand that his technical defense speculated with the possibility of declaring him unpunishable.
04:40And that his defenders say, he is not a femicide, this was not a femicide.
04:46And what if it wasn't a femicide? It's a whole level of irrationality, that one is twice as indignant because they kill your daughter twice with this type of argument.
04:55Exactly. Yes, totally, totally agree.
05:00Well, his defense will be his defense. We are convinced by our lawyers and by the way they worked, impeccable.
05:07Because the evidence was forceful, how it was scheduled, cameras, there is no way not to judge him as he did with the chain of perpetrators for the business and for the murder.
05:21It is very clear. We want him to finish as soon as possible and to close a very painful stage of not having our daughter for life.
05:33Marcelo, thank you very much for being there, for these minutes. We hug you, obviously, at a distance.
05:40A big greeting to the family too, thank you.
05:43A hug, thank you very much.
05:44Please, thanks to Belen Bianchi. We are going to go deeper, of course, when the trial advances. But there is more, Mari, right?
05:51There is more, well, it also has to do with gender violence, of course not to the extreme of reaching the femicide, but we return to the subject of violence.
