Overview
- The defendant admitted shooting 19-year-old Alberto de Olivera during a two-day hunting trip in the Picada Chuchú area of the Yabotí Reserve, where hunting is prohibited.
- He initially reported a suicide and later gave another account, but forensic findings showed a back entry wound with no exit, leading prosecutors to reject self-harm.
- The case moved from an original charge that included alevosía to an abbreviated proceeding after the confession, avoiding potential life imprisonment.
- The agreed sentence must be homologated by the Tribunal Penal de Oberá before it takes legal effect.
- Investigators did not recover the weapon or the shirt the accused said he removed, and two firearms seized from his home were not linked to the shooting.
