For this reason, Lloreda asked the Attorney General, during the disciplinary trial against him and the also dismissed police officer Harby Damián Rodríguez, to absolve him of all responsibility for the death of the 44-year-old student.
In his allegations, broadcast by Blu Radio, the policeman who made 8 tasers against Javier Ordóñez assured that he only tried to reduce a person who was drunk and who wanted to attack them.
“He requested that, applying the principle of presumption of innocence, I be absolved of all responsibility in this investigation. […] It was not because of the use of the ‘taser’ pistol that the death occurred and, consequently, a fact that is partially disproved cannot be attributed to me, ”said the former member of the National Police.
In this regard, the authorities have a video that shows what happened between the patrolmen and the victim before the discharges.
Lloreda also insisted that Ordóñez was in a fight before meeting him and his partner – who were patrolling the Villa Luz neighborhood of the town of Engativá, western Bogotá – despite the fact that Rodríguez acknowledged that Lloreda beat the victim in the CAI .
According to a statement Rodríguez gave, Lloreda kicked the student several times in the stomach and ribs.
The necropsy result showed that Ordóñez arrived at the hospital with a destroyed liver and multiple head injuries. However, the cause of death was a massive intra-abdominal hemorrhage caused by a burst kidney.
The authorities also claim to have other videos that would demonstrate the responsibility of these two patrolmen for the death of the Villa Luz resident. In one of them Ordóñez appears with a bloody eyebrow and a torn shirt, and another, published below, shows when he is dragged in.
For his part, the lawyer for the former police officer Rodríguez acknowledged that there was an abuse of authority, according to El Tiempo, but said that his client had nothing to do with that situation, and asked to exonerate him.
The decision of the Attorney General’s Office will be known on October 27.
