Alarcón, as he had stated while the case was under investigation, asserted that from the beginning he expressed his rejection of deliver a false version of events which, as he emphasized, was ordered by a lawyer and a Carabineros major, both now accused in the case, reiterating that there was no confrontation or crossfire upon arriving at the place where the homicide occurred.
The situation opened an extensive debate as the remaining defenses, including those of the aforementioned, had an impact so that the declaration was annulled by the opportunity in which it was made, by leaving them no possibility of reaction since they had previously withdrawn their tests. After a recess, the Court rejected the incident with costs and validated the defendant’s statement.
In accessing the Court, Marcelo Catrillanca, father of the deceased community member, reiterated that beyond Alarcón’s words, defendants are missing in the case, among them the former Minister of the Interior, Andrés Chadwick.

“Now guys, you are going to give a statement to the Prosecutor’s Office and have to say that you were attacked from the sides of the road, that there was crossfire, that the tractor crossed the line of fire, that you never aimed, “said Alarcón at the trial according to LT.
“It must be said that nobody walks with a camera”

“Hey hueón, do what you’re being told Or do you want to go to jail? “, Valdivieso would have said, said Alarcón, who assured that for him, what was happening was not right.
After being asked about his reaction to the orders of his superiors, the accused indicated at the hearing that he was silent, because they are a police institution of a military nature. “When we are given an order, we must comply with it”added.
“The weakest”
The defendant for the death of the community member indicated at the hearing that Major Valdivieso told him “Hey hueón, you are the weakest”.
“My biggest Valdivieso fell from the sky,” said the accused.
