Overview

• DIVINHOM delivered its report to prosecutor Richard Rojas, finding no evidence of third‑party involvement and no signs of forced entry at Castro’s Miraflores home.
• Security‑camera reviews aligned with family statements by showing no entry of outsiders, and bloodstain patterns indicated movements consistent with a self‑inflicted injury at the scene.
• The IML necropsy determined a 27‑centimeter neck wound compatible with autolesión, differing from an initial 14‑centimeter field estimate by SAMU/PNP personnel.
• A psychological retrospective cited an acute emotional crisis tied to ongoing judicial processes, a failed plea attempt, and the prospect of a roughly 25‑year sentence.
• Public allegations of homicide, including claims by Mayor Rafael López Aliaga, were countered by investigators who said a green towel found at the scene was used to stanch bleeding and was not a political symbol.
