Six days have passed since the disappearance of Loan Danilo Peña in Corrientes, the boy who went to get oranges and never came back. The three suspects remain detained and have now asked to testify. “There is no evidence linking them to the disappearance,” said Leandro Montti, defense attorney and asked that the testimony of the 15 people who were present at the lunch prior to Loan’s disappearance be taken.
Corrientes authorities continue with the extensive operation to find Loan. Meanwhile, uncertainty is growing in the region. The three suspects, who had refused to testify, expressed their desire to speak this Wednesday. They assured that they would be able to give their testimony next week.
Is about Bernardino Antonio Benítez, Daniel Oscar “Fierrito” Ramírez and Mónica del Carmen Millapiwho were with the minor on that 500-meter excursion along with a group of minors, among whom was Loan.
It was his defense lawyer, Leandro Montti, who communicated this predisposition on the part of his clients and said “it was impossible for these people to declare, without me having access to the file. “Only this morning I was able to learn about the case and the evidence presented by the prosecutor Juan Carlos Castillo, from the UFIC of Goya to formalize the accusation.”
Given this, he assured “The truth is that the prosecutor has nothing that allows them to be linked to Loan’s disappearance, only suspicions”, and stressed that it is “a very rare case. “It was the first time that the Ramírez couple attended the house, it was within the framework of the celebration of San Antonio.”
The defense requested that the more than 15 people who were present at that lunch be summoned to testify. «There were several vehicles in which these people were traveling, so we also want them to be examined. “We all want Loan to appear alive,” she said.
Loan search in Corrientes: the average, the key clue
However, clues continue to appear that could be key. Chiara, the Golden Retriever who is participating in the search, found a half which apparently had blood. Investigators have yet to determine whether or not it belongs to the 5-year-old boy.
“There is no hypothesis until -the average- is analyzed,” Walter Adrián Maciel, the head of the 9 de Julio police station, a town in the small town of Pareja Algarrobal, where the little boy disappeared, told this medium.
Authorities are careful when providing information about the cause so as not to hinder the investigation. That is why the lawyer for Loan’s family, Roberto Méndez, said that one of the detainees “It provided information that I had overlooked,” but he did not reveal what the testimony was during the investigation.
