Represented in the lawsuit, by Ignacio Trimarco, Emmily's family considered that they "

cleaned up the scene

" before the police arrived and to "hide" what had happened in that department.

The autopsy report indicated that the deceased woman had no lesions compatible with sexual abuse, nor was genetic material from other people found in her body.

Dafne agreed with the other witnesses: "

There was no sex, only sexual advances

," she said.

Emmily was naked when she fell into an internal patio of the Retirement building.

Sáenz Valiente explained that she lost her pants when she tried to "tackle" her to prevent her from jumping out the window.

Regarding the message that was known, Dafne maintained that she left early because "she had to work" at her hairdresser's and that "someone was waiting for her." 

Emmily wrote to her: "

Gorda, where are you going? I went downstairs and you were already gone. I bank you

."

Then she made two calls to him around 5:53.

"

Friend, I arrived at my house. I'm going to mimir. Tomorrow I have to do things

," he replied.

the expert

This morning, he testified before Vismara Héctor Di Salvo, the forensic medical examiner of the Forensic Medical Corps (CMF) who did the autopsy on the young woman.

In his report, he indicated that Emmily had no defensive injuries or injuries consistent with sexual assault.

Although the toxicological tests are not ready, he asserted: "The foam from the nose that the victim had may be due to the intake of narcotic drugs,"

judicial sources  told

Télam .


This week Ignacio Trimarco highlighted the "injury 18" of the medical report in which they refer to "a linear abrasion of 13 by 9 centimeters with a drag pattern in the right area of ​​the thorax and abdomen" that could have occurred when being pushed by the window that, according to the reports in the file, was at the same height: about 90 centimeters from the ground. 

Di Salvo denied that claim, stating, "

The drag pattern does not mean that she was pushed or dragged

The neighbor

Before Dafne, another witness testified.

She was one of the neighbors who called 911 for assistance after seeing the victim leaning out of a balcony and yelling "

Police, Police

" and that a man from behind told her "

calm down, calm down

."

Rafael Cúneo Libarona, Sáenz Valiente's defense lawyer and magister in Criminal Law, told

Clarín

: "We will make a presentation with an assessment of the evidence with the precept that the evidence demonstrates the innocence of my defendant." 

Before consulting this newspaper, judicial sources confirmed that there will be time until April 18 to resolve the procedural situation of the defendant.

They could release him and allow the investigation to continue in freedom or remain in detention if they consider that he could hinder the case.

His defense expects a lack of merit to be declared, understanding that there is not enough evidence to accuse him.
