The news shocked Comodoro Rivadavia.
A 16-year-old teenager turned himself in Tuesday at a police station and
confessed that he had
stabbed
his father
to death.
The details of the case generated even more impact among investigators.
Spokesmen for the case detailed to
Clarín
that the teenager stabbed his father because the man
wanted to abuse his 12-year-old brother
.
He did it to defend him and to defend himself, since both were permanently beaten.
The man, whose identity is reserved because it is a case involving minors, had recently been released.
He was
imprisoned for abuse
and the sources consulted by
Clarín
define him as "abusive and violent."
For now, the prosecution has not made an accusation against the teenager, but it is most likely that it is considered a case of
self-defense
.
There was a hearing but now both boys must testify in the Gesell Chamber.
"When they arrived at the police station and confessed that they had killed the father, they said they were tired of being beaten," the investigators explain.
It was the oldest who told what had happened:
"I killed him because I wanted to abuse my little brother," he
said.
"
They were calm
, without the appearance of having ingested any substance. Moreover, before arriving at the police station, they locked the door of the house and walked the 6 blocks that separate them from the second section," detailed sources in the case.
The crime occurred at approximately 0.30 on Tuesday.
The older one took over having given him the fatal stab.
The family was originally from the province of Catamarca and had settled eight years ago in the central area of the Chubut city of Comodoro Rivadavia.
It was actually a usurped house, but they managed to stay in place for a long time.
There was even another older brother, in his 20s, who disappeared from the place some time ago.
For reasons that justice is still investigating, the boys' mother had left the house a long time ago.
Everyone believes that she abandoned her children because she got on very badly with her husband and returned to her home province.
In addition, she was also constantly attacked.
Before a query from this newspaper, judicial sources indicated: "The murdered man was imprisoned for another abuse and
had obtained conditional freedom
. A benefit that the prosecution objected to.
The boys lived a hell
. They ate stir-fry and did not study."
After the boys confessed, a delegation from the police station went to the house.
The man had
a knife
with a blade about 20 centimeters
deep in his chest
.
The father of the boys did not have a job, he only did money and drank a lot, according to the testimony of some neighbors.
In the house, the police also found several empty beer cans.
And some cigarette butts.
Also a cell phone.
The oldest of the adolescents was detained in the section and the 12-year-old received attention from victim assistance personnel.
In the first instance, for Justice the figure of legitimate defense fits since the boys wanted to prevent the father from hitting them once again.
And also, that he abused one of them.
With the man's antecedents, what the minors told is true, at least for now.
We will have to see what happens when all the skills of a fact that touches all Comodoro Rivadavia are made.
