Melissa Klug Files Police Complaint Alleging Attempted Feminicide by Bryan Torres After Video Surfaces

Authorities are coordinating the case, with victim‑support protocols activated following media receipt of the footage.

Overview

  • Klug filed the complaint at the Monterrico station, citing video that shows Bryan Torres striking Samahara Lobatón, trying to asphyxiate her with a pillow, and attempting to hit her with an iron.
  • The Ministry of Women said its Warmi Ñan team provided initial care to the alleged victim and is working with the National Police and the Prosecutor’s Office.
  • TV program Amor y Fuego says it obtained the images but declined to air them, while longer footage later leaked online and was reportedly offered for sale illegally.
  • Klug says her daughter has resisted psychological care and initially withheld the video out of fear of getting Torres jailed, and she asked prosecutors to order evaluations and protective measures.
  • Media also cite a neighbor alleging prior incidents of violence; as of Tuesday no arrest has been confirmed while police and prosecutors assess the case.
