A sentence of seven years in prison must serve Kimberly medina, convicted of the patricide of her son, only 1 year and five months old, in Peñalolén, in the Metropolitan region.
According to the court ruling, on the afternoon of July 28, 2018, the 26-year-old woman stabbed her son eight times, and then attempt suicide with stab wounds.
At that moment, the mother of the condemned woman arrived at the property and transferred her to the Luis Tiné Hospital.
Medina had warned on Facebook that he would commit the crime.
The case was investigated by the prosecutor Carolina Fuentes, from the Peñalolén Macul Prosecutor’s Office, who indicated that the parricide “was preceded by a publication that the accused made on social networks, on Facebook, where she announced her intention to kill her son and commit suicide”.
After the unanimous conviction verdict, the Prosecutor’s Office requested 15 years and a day in prison, but the Seventh Oral Trial Court finally sentenced her to 7 years in prison, with a minority vote that was for a sentence of 10 years.
The court considered as mitigating that the defendant was facing psychological treatment at the time of the events and therefore considered her imputability diminished.
