Carlos Torrens, lawyer of the mother of slain 11-year-old Tomás Santillan last week in Lincoln, BA province, assured today that “there is enough evidence to keep suspect Adalberto Cuello (Tomás’ former stepfather) arrested.”
Likewise, Torrens remarked that “Attorney Javier Ochoaizpuro has enough evidence to keep him (Cuello) arrested, plus we are also sure the evidence is quite enough to dictate preventive detention though that’s something that must be remanded by the judge in charge.”
Furthermore, Torrens told reporters to be highly satisfied with Ochoaizpuro’s work as yesterday the latter added the charges of “premeditation and cruelty” to the initial charge of “first degree murder” against Cuello.
“We expect the suspect to be sentenced to life imprisonment,” Torrens concluded.
Meanwhile, the victim’s mother is to declare before judge tomorrow.
