Quadruple murder: father of sole suspect assures son is innocent

Daniel Martínez, the father of the only suspect of the quadruple crime of La Plata Osvaldo Martínez, said that his son “has nothing to do” with the murders and that is sure his son will be released because «he’s innocent.»
“My son isn’t (the murderer), he has nothing to do with this,” Osvaldo Martínez’s father said this morning and claimed that his son wasn’t present in the crime scene and that fact will be backed by analyses of phone calls and further investigation.
“That day he was studying and watching a movie, at 10 pm he called her (one of the victims, his girlfriend,Bárbara Santos) from his home, which is 10 kilometres, and spoke to her to go my grandaughter’s birthday the following day,” Martínez said.
“At one he called her again, she didn’t answer the phone, so the texted her and she didn’t reply either,” Martínez sr said and added that if his son had been at the crime scene with his car, “he would have washed it all night long, because one exits such a crime scene drenched in blood.”
Regarding the alleged injuries Osvaldo Martínez has in his arm and that the investigators consider signals that the victims tried to defend themselves, his father said that he had a bruise because he had been subjected to a blood test for a new job.
“The bruise in his arm is of a blood test he had done for YPF (oil company)” Martínez insisted.
Daniel Martínez also said that further scratches in his son’s arm were caused by a papercut and were probably caused by his dog or by his moaning the lawn of the land in which he leaves.
When questioned about the investigator’s hypothesis that his son could have used his martial arts training to kill the four victims, Martínez said “my son hasn’t worked out in five years. And is anyone who practises martial arts a murderer?” he added.
The four murders were committed early on Sunday morning in La Plata, Buenos Aires province’s capital.
