More than 48 hours have passed since hairdresser
Abel Guzmán (43) remains a fugitive from Justice
.
There is still no certainty about where he could be, nor what motivated him to take the life of Gabriel Medina 33).
A few hours ago, his mother spoke and assured that she had no contact with the family and that she asks that he surrender.
Cecilia Guzmán lives in Santiago del Estero and gave an interview to the local media El Liberal.
"I saw the video only once and I couldn't take it anymore. I don't know what to say because I'm very sad," he assured the journalist.
And he exclaimed: "I pray and let us pray that my son is delivered as soon as possible!"
Regarding her last conversations with Abel, Cecilia explained that the last call was “two or three days ago.”
"
I didn't notice it strange or bad
. As far as I know, he worked a lot and went to a brother's house almost only to sleep. He was more dedicated to hairdressing," she said.
Regarding the hairdresser's visits to her hometown, the woman stated that he always went for the end-of-year parties and was even building his house.
Cecilia explained that her son was sending her money so that the bricklayers could build a house that was going to be finished before the end of 2024.
"I have 7 children. One is deceased. I have 6 left, 5 boys and one girl. The youngest is here with me. Abel was born there (NdR. in Buenos Aires), but every year he came to Santiago," the woman explained.
The whereabouts of Guzmán – who remains a fugitive – the motive and planning of the crime, the reason why the atmosphere in the hair salon was apparently calm despite the fact that someone brandished a gun, as well as why a colleague helped him to escape are the keys that the investigation tries to elucidate.
What are the certainties?
The Verdini hair salon closed its doors on Wednesday at 8 p.m. promptly and its staff remained in the salon sharing a few beers.
The place has eight security cameras inside, and through the film material of one of them the scene could be seen: Abel Guzmán begins to make gestures of rebuke and reproach towards his colleagues.
He was standing, and sitting around him were Facundo Verdini, owner of the hair salon, “Charly” Azorín, the manager of the premises, a hairdresser, and Germán Medina.
From the images seen in the video, there was an argument and Guzmán ended up shooting Medina in the head, and then fled through a window that Azorín ended up closing.
“We are all locked up, hiding in the rooms of our houses.
We are afraid, almost paranoid.
Today I left my room for the first time, and went to the patio of my house to talk on the phone, or try to.
When I realized it, I was hiding among the branches of a tree, totally scared,” Verdini told
