The Regional Prosecutor’s Office of La Araucanía confirmed the reopening of the investigation into the brutal homicide of the American psychologist Erica Hagan, murdered in 2014 on the premises of the Baptist school in Temuco.
According to the radio Cooperativa consignment, “a team of prosecutors specialized in violent crimes and gender violence was entrusted to carry out the proceedings.”
Remember that the Domingo Cofré school janitor was brought to trial by the Public Ministry as the perpetrator of the crime, but the court rejected the evidence and acquitted him of the charges.
As the spokeswoman for the La Araucanía Prosecutor’s Office, Daniela San Martín, explained to the radio, “the request made by the victim’s mother was especially considered, which was reiterated last Thursday through a letter presented by her lawyer, in which the reopening of the investigation is requested and the performance of all those proceedings based on the analysis of the antecedents already existing in the investigation folder “.
“For the Prosecutor’s Office, the existence of a line that was not sufficiently addressed, as stated by the petitioner, merits the development of actions aimed at ensuring respect for the fundamental rights of the victim, particularly effective access to justice,” he added .
The Public Ministry spokeswoman also pointed out that the opinion of Erica’s mother was especially considered in order to question the status of victim of the Baptist Educational Foundation (of the Temuco campus), so that “the Public Ministry filed this Friday an appeal for reconsideration to challenge the admissibility of the complaint filed by this entity because “it does not hold the status of victim in the facts investigated.”
