The persecutor indicated that although up to now no people have been detained as a result of what happened, “from minute one we have made every effort to clarify these facts. We are working with two prosecutors at the scene of the event who are directing the work that the Carabineros police are carrying out. We have also been in the regional hospital accompanying the family of the deceased ”.
Based on the information available so far, the prosecutor said, it can be determined that “While this policeman was driving the vehicle he was in charge of, a radio patrol vehicle, he received an impact that entered through his dorsal side, through the door, causing him very serious injuries that ended up being irrecoverable.”
This, he added, “It occurred in the context of a surprise attack on a police vehicle when an eviction procedure, authorized by the court, had already been completed without any inconvenience.” The eviction was carried out in a property near Route 5 Sur.
“According to the preliminary dynamics of the events, we are in the presence of an ambush. Carabineros was patrolling the surroundings, having completed the (eviction) procedure, ”Paredes said.
The persecutor also pointed out that they are working on ballistic skills to determine the caliber of the bullet and the type of weapon with which the attack was carried out., but preliminarily it can be reported that it is a high impact projectile.
Staff from the OS9 and Labocar de Carabineros work at the site and it is not ruled out that PDI members may be integrated.
