The head of the General Directorate of Investigations, Miguel Carabajal, quickly called the Homicide Department, and a team of police officers led by Susana Montero and Leonardo Robles first searched for the teenager and then came to the house where the victim resided.
When they arrived, they explained to the uncle of the three boys – three brothers aged 10, 11 and 15 – the call they had received and, with his permission, they went to the back of the house where the room where the boys were sleeping was located. But when they tried to wake them up, only two of the three minors reacted. When checking the third, they suspected that he might be dead.. Doctors confirmed his death.
Furthermore, they confirmed what the killer admitted in the phone call, which was that the victim had abrasions on his neck consistent with manual strangulation, and abrasions on his left hand.
