Overview

  • State prosecutor Federico Fernández said relatives were shown recordings from the day before and the day of the incident and, according to his account, voiced satisfaction with the investigation’s progress.
  • Authorities reiterated that, so far, there are no indications that a corrosive was intentionally poured into Carlos Gurrola’s drink, though the case remains under the homicide unit.
