Карабайльо: семьи требуют, чтобы двойное убийство женщин было рассмотрено как особо тяжкое преступление на почве женоненавистничества
On the afternoon of Monday, September 1, the relatives of Ana Lucía del Portal (23) and Nancy Carrión (64), a mother and daughter murdered in 2024, held a sit-in outside the Public Prosecutor's Office in Carabayllo to demand that the prosecutor in the case file charges of aggravated femicide, and not for simple femicide, as has been proposed so far. As you may recall, Sebastián Chacón, a 23-year-old man and Ana Lucía's ex-partner, has been identified as the perpetrator of the crime. "We are now at the stage of indictment, and nearly nine months have passed. The preventive detention period will end on September 12. The prosecutor has already sent the necessary information to extend the pretrial detention. We have no doubt about that, but we do have doubts about the charges that will be brought,“ he said. ”We are seeking life imprisonment for aggravated femicide, but I see that this is not the prosecutor's intention. We are only asking him to do his job properly. This murderer must not be allowed to walk free," he added. Double murder in Carabayllo Security cameras captured the exact moment Sebastián Chacón arrived, minutes before 6:00 a.m., while the murder was committed at 7:00 a.m. After the crime, Chacón sent audio messages to Ana Lucía's sister, alerting her to a robbery that resulted in the death of both women. However, initial police investigations revealed inconsistencies in the suspect's alibi, leading to his arrest by the authorities. "The crime was committed with great ferocity. He killed my wife first and made my daughter watch her mother die, then he killed my daughter. These are aggravating circumstances that warrant this man receiving a life sentence. It is very painful to remember that moment. We trust that justice will be done and that this will not go unpunished,“ said the father. For her part, the daughter and sister of the women who died detailed how the events unfolded. ”What happened was that at that moment I left with my dad and I was coming back before my dad. I worked at a school, finished at 2:30 p.m., and returned home before him. I could have returned. My father was not there because he works until nighttime. I could have been another victim, and I am aware of that,“ she added.
