The jury trial for the murder of Cecilia Strzyzowski in Chaco ended. After the closing arguments presented yesterday, the popular jury began deliberating and will issue its verdict today. All the following instructions were given by technical judge Dolly Fernandez.
As is known, the accused are Cesar Sena, Emerenciano Sena, Marcela Acuña, Fabiana Gonzalez, Gustavo Obregon, Gustavo Melgarejo and Griselda Reynoso.
“They killed Cecilia, and this is not politics, it is the killing of women,” prosecutor Juan Martin Bojado said in his closing remarks.
He added, “From the beginning, I asked them to imagine the mystery. Today, before their eyes is all the evidence and all the details. There is only one possible picture: Cecilia was killed by those who thought they were above justice.”
According to Bojado Gallery, Cecilia’s life changed radically after her marriage to Cesar Sena. “He was the target of hostility,” the official said.
“If Marcela announces – through Mother Acuña – that the three will drown,” Bogado repeated on more than one occasion, referring to the pact of silence that sealed the fate of the victim.
For the accused – as the prosecutor emphasized – “to get Cecilia out of the department was an obsession. They promised her a false inheritance, offered her money, and even created a supposed job for her in the south of the country to create an alibi that ended up being a deadly trap.”
Thus the largest trial in Chaco history reaches its extreme: justice or silence, truth or fear. Only the verdict will determine whether answers to Cecilia Strzyzowski’s ordeal will finally be found.
Unusually, Gabriela Tomlinovich, the defender of Cesar Sena, one of those accused of killing Cecilia Strzyzowski, expressed that “we are not sure” that her client is the perpetrator of the crime.
Later, with regard to Acuña, his legal representative took the path of “cover-up”, and Ricardo Osuna, who defends Emerenciano Senna, said “there is not a single piece of evidence against him”.
