The mother of Candela Rodríguez, the 11-year-old girl murdered over a month ago, talked to reporters and assured that “it was not a vendetta”, and neither her nor her husband are related to drug trafficking.
Likewise, Carola Labrador assured that during the nine days her daughter was held captive, she received “thousands of phone calls, but none of them included a proof of life.”
Asked about the rumours indicating that Candela could have been kidnapped by a prostitution network, Labrador remarked “My daughter was 11 but looked like 14, so I gues they thought she was older”, and added, “They kidnapped her for a reason, and they were going to do something with her.”
Labrador also discarded that her daughter was seeing older people, “Candela did not have any kind of relationship with older people. She had friends of her same age.”
Furthermore, the mother of the victim said that “Candela had given me the phone number of where she was going to stay the day she was kidnapped. So I don’t believe those rumours saying she was actually planning to meet with someone else. Actually her friends came home to pick her up that day.”
To concluye, Labrador stated that “the people who kidnapped Candela must felt really scared as she probably recognized their faces, so they decided to kill her.”
