A 31-page written report signed by the dentists Gabriela Oviedo, Fabiola Serrano and Manuel Maurelia, requested by prosecutor José Ortiz, in charge, at the time, of the investigation of the death of the minor Thomas Bravo in Arauco, it would be “the overwhelming expertise” referred to by the regional persecutor of Bío Bío, Marcela Cartagena, appointed in charge to finish the work that, until now, has targeted the boy’s great-uncle.
Said study, to which he had exclusive access BioBioChile, reports on an oral autopsy protocol on the body, by order of the prosecutor Ortiz, carried out on March 2, and that, in its conclusions, certifies “Injuries in his mouth attributable to third parties”, despite not being conclusive regarding the cause of death.
It should be noted that this report is of a private nature, requested by the Prosecutor’s Office, and that radio sources have raised questions about its validity.
With this, the Public Ministry will seek to reverse before the Concepción Court of Appeals the decision of the Arauco Guarantee Court, which ruled out preventive detention for Jorge Escobar, Tomás’s great-uncle and until now, the only defendant.
Under these data, the investigative line of the formalization of Escobar is insisted and seeks to accuse him of qualified homicide.
However, it is something that, in Escobar’s defense, is far from being the case, among other aspects, “because the cause of death remains undetermined and under study”, in addition to other evidence, such as the expertise on his phone, which is not it would be located at the site of the event where the body of the minor was found, in addition to the fact that the times recorded do not coincide with the minimum necessary to move and have killed him.
The report
This expertise is in addition to one from the PDI, which reports an analysis of the location of people using their cell phones, another from Labocar de Carabineros and the pre-report of the autopsy of the Legal Medical Service (SML) of Concepción.
Various lesions were found inside and outside the mouth, further confirming that elements of human origin were found in various parts of the mouth, which, according to the study, should be subjected to a genetic examination.
Regarding the methodology used by the professionals, the report highlights that a detailed study of perioral, labial, oral and dental lesions was carried out, describing the processes and each finding.
Regarding the objective, it details that it is an analysis of the dental characteristics, injuries and pathologies present, together with the identification of alterations after death. In addition, it details the analysis of x-rays.
Out of respect for the family, BioBioChile refrained from mentioning much of the explicit details or attaching the images included in the report.
Key evidence
The report presents in detail the evidence that would be key to conclude that there was intervention by third parties and that it is not an accidental death.
According to the professional work of dentists, both outside and inside Tomás’s mouth, different types of “abrasion” type lesions, caused by friction, were verified, including lips and palate.
It was also found that at least 9 of his teeth suffered “subluxations”, that is, displacement or loosening, which would have occurred prior to his death.
Conclusions
The report ends with 8 antecedents that would confirm the intervention of third parties in the death of Tomás, but without establishing an explicit link with Jorge Escobar, the only defendant.
In the same way, the report would confirm that the child suffered sexual abuse prior to death. This is based on two antecedents that have yet to be carried out, the main thing being the finding of elements inside his mouth that “due to their position and muscular protection are not explained by postmortem contamination”, which should be subjected to a genetic analysis. .
“The findings described above they are compatible with a violation by oral cavity ”, accuse the professionals.
This report would be key this Thursday at the hearing in the Concepción Court of Appeals, although “an undetermined cause of death” is still being handled and with a defendant on whom the Prosecutor’s Office will seek his preventive detention on charges of qualified homicide.
