What am I going to ask of justice? Nothing, if he never does anything ”. Those were part of the words of María Pavez, mother of Moisés Orellana (21), a young man who died due to a gunshot in the head after an arson attack that occurred early Tuesday in Cañete.

Pavez showed his dismay with what happened, stating that “I don’t know what happened. My son was a worker, he liked to play ball “he told El Mercurio.

Marta, aunt of Moisés, indicated for her part that “He was a young man who was beginning to live. We hope that justice is done, because it seems that in the end nothing is done “.

“They entered violently”

María Angélica Vásquez, one of those affected by the fire in the cabins prior to the death of Moisés Orellana, related what happened, stating that “we felt the dogs barking and suddenly some people with weapons entered, violently.”

In that line, he added that “They pointed their guns at us and told us to go out and give them the weapons and the money. Outside I counted like three or four, all hooded. I told them we had no weapons or money ”.

“They began to burn down the house and said that we had to tell the government that ‘the Mapuches were suffering a lot’, and that is why they had done it,” he said, adding that “I work as a teacher in a Mapuche community.”

In turn, María Angélica explained that “our vehicle and my brother’s were also stolen, and then they burned them. This is not fair and we do not know what we are going to do now “.

Nexus

The regional prosecutor of Bío Bío, Marcela Cartagena, confirmed this Tuesday that there is a nexus between the arson attack on some cabins in Cañete and the subsequent murder of the 21-year-old.

“The death by a shotgun of a 21-year-old youth at the hand of one of the people who first set fire to the cabin has been effectively verified”said Cartagena.

Political authorities, from the Minister of the Interior to the Mayor of Bío Bío, condemned this event that ended with the death of Moisés Orellana and announced the filing of complaints for the homicide, as well as for the arson attack.
