Overview
- Jurors found César Sena guilty as the author of doubly aggravated homicide (femicide) and deemed his parents, Emerenciano Sena and Marcela Acuña, primary participants, a legal classification that carries mandatory life imprisonment to be formalized at the cesura hearing.
- Three associates were convicted of cover‑up offenses: Fabiana González and José Gustavo Obregón for aggravated concealment and Gustavo Melgarejo for simple concealment, while Griselda Reinoso was acquitted and released.
- The 12-member jury deliberated for more than 24 hours, sought authorized clarifications on seized messages and audio, and was instructed to keep deliberations confidential.
- Forensic testimony reported extensive calcination of recovered remains consistent with exposure above 800°C for several hours, supporting the conclusion that the body was incinerated after the killing in the Sena residence.
- Judge Dolly Fernández said the outcome reflects public fatigue with alleged political protection surrounding the Sena network, drawing immediate reactions from national and provincial officials.
