Overview
- Marcela Acuña told the court she acted “as a mother,” acknowledged she tried to cover for César Sena, and said she sought to keep details from Emerenciano to protect her son.
- Acuña denied ordering any disposal of a body but admitted saying “take this problem away,” changing her phone, and asking an aide to check the house after seeing a suspicious “bundle.”
- Emerenciano Sena testified that he “did nothing,” insisted there is no proof against him, and said he cooperated with investigators by handing over his phone and vehicle.
- César Sena, charged with triply aggravated homicide as the alleged material author, declined to testify, while four alleged accomplices face aggravated cover‑up accusations tied to cleaning, moving items, and the family piggery.
- Evidence presented to the jury includes camera footage showing Cecilia entering the Sena home and never leaving alive and forensic findings of calcined remains burned for hours at high temperatures at the family chanchería.
