"Love where are you?"
.
That message was sent by Emmily Rodrigues Santos Gomes (26) to her boyfriend the morning in which the young woman fell from a sixth floor in Retiro, on March 30.
This was revealed in his statement before the Justice by the motorsport driver Juan Manuel Rodríguez, who had a sentimental relationship with the Brazilian woman.
Businessman Francisco Sáenz Valiente (52) was arrested for the case.
Among other passages in Rodríguez's witness statement, it is noted that the young man never
saw Emmily take drugs and that he used to drink "a glass or two of alcohol."
Rodríguez assured that that morning that ended with the death of the young Brazilian, his girlfriend sent him messages in which she told him what she was doing with her friends.
"She sent me messages to take care of my daughters, that she loved me, she also told me that she was at (the restaurant) Gardiner, and then she went to a bowling alley in Palermo. At 5:52 in the morning Mili (nickname with the who calls Emmily) sent me a message on Instagram
asking me where I was
. I saw the message at around 10, 11 in the morning. Later I found out everything that happened on TV. That day I was with my daughters and I didn't see the message," Rodríguez said in his testimony.
Francisco Sáenz Valiente, the businessman who was arrested for Emmily's death.
Then he added that he also received WhatsApp messages on another of his cell phones "before half past three in the morning."
"He sent me two or three messages on WhatsApp.
He put something like 'love, where are you' and he also called me two or three times.
I didn't see that at that time either because I was asleep. I was at my old man's house with my daughters. They didn't know Emmily, but I wanted them to meet her at some point," said the car driver, who provided all the messages received to be included in the court file.
In addition, he stated that he had met Emmily at the "Le Blé" bar in Puerto Madero a year and a half ago, but that they had been formally engaged
for approximately eight months
, he explained that the young woman "was wanting to set up a beauty center" because He worked "doing aesthetics at home" and rejected the versions that he was a prostitute.
Then he recalled that his girlfriend "had a wonderful body, she went to the gym every day, if she took drugs, she would not be as she was physically.
She drank a glass or two of alcohol when she went out, but she took care of herself, she did not overdo it
, "and added that he never saw her smoke or tobacco or marijuana.
On the other hand, the lawyer Ignacio Trimarco, who represents Emmily's parents, named Catia Cilene Rodrigues Santos and Arístides Da Silva Gomes, requested that the hearing to be held on May 16 at 9:30 before the Appeals Chamber to resolve if the defendant Sáenz Valiente continues at large, it should be carried out orally and in person and not virtually, as planned.
According to the lawyer, the request that the hearing be oral "is imperative" and that it is due "not only because of the seriousness and complexity of the case but also because of the large amount of probative elements that make up the fact."
Emmily died on March 30, after going to dinner with a group of friends at Gardiner, in Costanera Norte, and later at a bar in Palermo.
The young Brazilian arrived at 3:21 in the morning at Sáenz Valiente's apartment, on the sixth floor of Libertad 1542.
According to what was recorded by the cameras in the building, she and her friends Juliana Magalhaes Mourao and Dafne Gutiérrez Santana arrived in Emmily's Jeep Compass truck, and went up to the apartment, where a fourth woman was already there, Lía Figueroa Alves, a friend of the accused.
Emmily Rodrigues, the 26-year-old Brazilian who died when she fell from a sixth floor in Retiro.
According to the investigators, after an early morning of excesses that included
alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and tusi
-a powerful designer drug that combines the hallucinogenic effects of LSD with the euphoric effects of MDMA-, Rodrigues suffered an apparent psychotic break and at 9:18 he ended up falling naked through a window to the inner courtyard of the building's block lung, when only Sáenz Valiente and Magalhaes Murao were in the apartment, in a death that the Justice tries to determine if it was a femicide or a suicide within the framework of some kind of drug intake.
Although additional expertise is awaited, the autopsy concluded that death was the result of "polytrauma" and "internal and external bleeding" compatible with the fall from the sixth floor and ruled out defensive injuries prior to the fall or signs of a sexual assault.
Sáenz Valiente spent 20 days in prison in the 4 Bis Annex of the City Police, in the Barracas neighborhood, until last April 18 when the Criminal and Correctional Judge 31, Martín Del Viso, released him for lack of merit, judicial decision that was appealed by the complaint and the prosecution.
