Overview
- A 12-member jury delivered a unanimous verdict after more than 24 hours, finding César Sena guilty as the author of double-aggravated homicide (femicide) and his parents, Emerenciano Sena and Marcela Acuña, guilty as primary participants.
- Two close associates, Gustavo Obregón and Fabiana González, were convicted of aggravated cover-up, while Gustavo Melgarejo was found guilty of simple cover-up, and Griselda Reynoso was acquitted and released.
- Formal penalties will be fixed in the upcoming juicio de cesura, with multiple outlets noting the three principal defendants are set to receive life imprisonment under the legal classification.
- Hours after the verdict, the convicted family members met inside the Resistencia penitentiary under a family reintegration program, and hundreds marched in the city calling for justice.
- Judge Dolly Fernández highlighted broad public fatigue with local power dynamics, national officials framed the outcome in political terms, and defense teams have announced appeals.
