Cecilia Sánchez, ex-wife of Martín Del Río -accused of the brutal murder of his parents in Vicente Lopez– gave a statement in the trial that is being carried out for the crime committed in 2022. Under this framework, he recounted the pain he experienced with his children at the moment he found out about his ex-partner’s participation in the incident.
In front of the jury, he broke the silence and launched: ”It’s a monster that lived inside the house. It humiliated me as a woman, as a mother. He betrayed us. The damage he did to us is irreparable.. He lied to us all the time. It’s such a humiliating situation. “You feel so violated,” also alluding to the discovery of Del Río’s parallel life. In addition, she assured that both she and her familyleft in a state of vulnerability”and what are”under treatment”. And he added: ”What happened to us I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.”
He also declared that ”I admired him for the vision he had as a merchant”, an admiration that later disappeared: ”I don’t have it anymore. It’s a monster that lived inside the house and we discovered it that fucking September 7th. That day all the chips fell on us“We realized that we were at risk.” The woman spoke for more than an hour and a half, and cried several times during her statement.
The fact is that Sánchez’s anguish and suffering is not only related to the double crime, but also to the secret life that her ex-husband led, focusing especially on her children, who were ”the biggest victims”. In addition, he recalled that, after Del Río’s arrest, they were “fear” and “panic.”
Finally, he recalled that his son Santiago identified his father in a video from the security cameras on the day of the double crime, where he had said: ”He’s dad, he’s a son of a bitch”. Yesterday, the accused’s brother also pointed him out in the images. Sánchez also pointed it out: ”It’s him, the way he walks”.
Del Río’s brother accused him and sank him even further
In front of the jury and without looking at his brother, Diego declared: ”I see the walker and it’s him. I have no doubt. I watched that video many times, 50 or 60. He’s my brother. That person is my brother, I have known him for 50 years. “He walks like that, a little crooked.”in reference to the video from that day, where the accused would be the one who was walking towards the house at Melo 1101.
In his long statement, he remarked: ”I just want him to be imprisoned”. And furthermore, he clarified that he does not ”hate” his brother: ”I could never feel anger, but I did feel a sadness that I…” he explained before drowning in his anguish. ”What annoys me the most, do you know what it is? That One of the two knew that his son was killing his husband or his wife. And I think it was my mother, my mother realized that Martín was killing his father. That moment must have been…” he added.
”I feel enormous sadness for him.. Besides my parents, I lost the entire family I grew up with.. I lost my parents and 10 days later my brother. But I could never feel angry, it makes me sad,” he added.
”I’m sure they knew it was Martín who was behind them (in the car where the bodies were found). “They must have thought, ‘Our son is killing us,’ and that moment is indescribable to me.”
”For me He put together a bag of lies so big that he couldn’t handle it anymore.“There really comes a time when the whole accumulation of lies had accumulated in such a big way that either he had to tell the truth or make the decision he made and do what he did,” he said regarding the reasons that led to his brother to commit the crime.
As for the motive for the crime, Diego is sure that his brother killed his parents because I couldn’t continue with the ”big lie” that he had been holding for some time about the family economy. The accused was the one in charge of managing the family’s assets and In recent times it had generated unpayable debts that his parents did not know.
And he added: ”I had to make a decision, I had to do a cleanup that I couldn’t do. But what he did is incomprehensible. (If he was telling the truth) My father would have had a tough talk with him, probably taking over the administration of the money, but they were never going to leave him alone. They were going to be angry with him, yes, but nothing more.”
Upon leaving the room after his statement, Diego Del Rio He melted into a hug with a friendwho has been witnessing all the trial hearings. Even yesterday, when the accused’s brother could not be present because he had not yet given testimony. The eldest son of the Del Rio family will attend the remaining hearings until the end of the trial at his request. Seven more witnesses are expected to appear in court this Wednesday.
