The family of Marcos Guenchul, the personal trainer who was shot in the head on July 23, 2019 in Sucre and Mendoza, asked the provincial court to release Priscila Denoya – the victim’s former partner, sentenced to life imprisonment – serve the sentence in prison and not at home. The request was made by the young man’s mother, Marcela Ontiveros, within the framework of the appeal of the second instance sentence, where the three convicted men – in addition to the woman, Santiago Caio Soso and Maximiliano Rodrigo Panero – seek to modify the maximum sentence received. in the oral and public debate in November last year.
“It is a struggle. This is the third trial. Now it is Priscila’s appeal against her conviction. She wants her life sentence revoked.” She is now living at home because she has three children and is pregnant again.. I’m waiting to find out what’s going to happen, If you are going to live with domiciliary“Ontiveros said in dialogue with From 12 to 14 (Three).
Guenchul’s mother said that the woman “never had a word, not even a glance” with her family after the murder. “For me, Justice will be served when I am imprisoned”he claimed.
“I find this madness, what is happening, absurd. If Denoya continues to get pregnant, she will spend her entire life under house arrest. We do not understand that there is no Justice that says “This is enough.” This person is in a situation that he has yet to resolve and “It drags a lot of children, girls, to an uncertain destiny,” he concluded.
Ontiveros emphasized that the Prosecutor’s Office told him that Denoya’s house arrest “is being monitored.” “If she had nothing to do with it, she should have declared who went to the house, she should have presented herself to the Prosecutor’s Office,” he concluded.
For his part, he estimated that the horizontal appeal of the latest resolution will take approximately two more months by the provincial Justice.
