Overview
- César Sena was unanimously found guilty as the author of double‑aggravated homicide, and his parents, Emerenciano Sena and Marcela Acuña, were convicted as primary participants.
- Three collaborators were convicted of concealment offenses—Gustavo Obregón and Fabiana González for aggravated concealment and Gustavo Melgarejo for simple concealment—while Griselda Reynoso was acquitted and released.
- Judge Dolly Fernández will convene a sentencing hearing (cesura) in the coming days to set penalties for the concealment convictions, and life imprisonment is the mandatory sentence for César and is applicable to his parents under the verdict.
- The 12 jurors deliberated over two days under isolation measures and received additional instructions before reaching a unanimous decision.
- Defense lawyers indicated they will appeal, and the presiding judge said the outcome reflects public exhaustion with the Sena group’s political influence as crowds gathered outside the courthouse.
