Overview
- Ex-boyfriend Ronan Amarilla testified and presented chats in which Cecilia described a violent attack by César Sena in early May 2023, quoting her message, “Me hizo la guillotina… Vi pasar la vida delante de mis ojitos.”
- Amarilla said he received a June 2 message from Cecilia’s phone about arriving in Ushuaia, which prosecutors contend was sent by César to simulate a trip after her disappearance.
- Gloria Romero resumed her testimony and recounted recognizing her daughter’s soot-covered belongings while saying subsequent messages felt unlike Cecilia’s usual way of writing.
- Cecilia’s grandmother, Mercedes, spoke outside court, saying César boasted when drinking about how people were made to disappear, and she urged jurors to deliver justice.
- Defense teams said they will seek to nullify parts of the process over an alleged hotel visit by the prosecutor to Romero, as the jury trial in Resistencia continues through November 20 with seven defendants facing charges.
