Jorge Ríos (70), the 70-year-old retiree who killed one of the five thieves who broke into his house and beat him, broke the silence on La Red radio : "I feel bad, I was not born to kill anyone ."
In dialogue with the América 24 channel, notoriously shocked, the man serving house arrest for the event that occurred in the Buenos Aires town of Quilmes stated: "I also did not seek to be entered three times at night ... with what intentions did these people want to come , five people".
" I am not a criminal. At no time did I want these people, his family, to lose this person. My total condolences, but it was my life, " Ríos continued, on the verge of tears.
The retiree said that he was threatened with a screwdriver and was fighting "for a long time". "I have my midwife here next to me, 80 years old, and when they left I thought they were taking her hostage. I thought a thousand things. Everything was so fast that I don't know. Yes, of course, she had a screwdriver that stuck in so much fighting a stick from the vine. It was all so fleeting that I'm trying to get myself in order. "
The dialogue with the news channel occurred at a time when the man was going to see him again. "I am going back because I am going through moments that you can imagine. I am even surprised at the things I saw from the outside, because there are things that escape me," he continued.
The retiree shot Franco Moreyra (26) and shot him dead in the chest after he broke into his home three times. Justice accuses him of "aggravated homicide" because Moreyra was already 60 meters from his property, injured in one leg and unable to escape.
For his lawyers, he was still in danger because "Piolo" Moreyra's accomplices continued to threaten him from a black and white car.
Ríos had been arrested for simple homicide, aggravated by the use of a firearm. First, the prosecutor Ariel Rivas (UFI No. 1 of Quilmes) charged him with legitimate privileged defense, which later changed to abuse of legitimate defense and finally to a third cover. This Monday, Judge of Guarantees No. 2, Martín Nolfi , granted him house arrest for his health problems.
