This Wednesday, during a virtual hearing, Police patrol officers Harby Damián Rodríguez Díaz and Juan Camilo Lloreda Cubillos spoke during the third session of the disciplinary trial for abuse of authority and the murder that follows them for the death of law student Javier Humberto Ordóñez.
At the beginning of the diligence, the patrolman Lloreda Cubillo read a letter in which he requested the nullity of all the proceedings, as well as the evidence collected so far.

He argued that his right to defense has been violated in the process because “because of” being deprived of liberty and without internet or telephone, I have not been able to find a trusted lawyer, “he said, adding:” I have not even been assigned a public defender “. He also said that there were irregularities in the notification of the investigation order, among other things.
However, the delegate attorney for the Public Force Hermán Rincón, who is in charge of the process, denied the request for annulment. He further said that It is false that he was not given a public defender, because in fact at the first hearing (on Friday, October 2) he resigned the assigned lawyer at the hearing.
Even that same Wednesday, Lloreda revoked the power of attorney that another lawyer had to represent him, and assumed his own defense. Patrolman Lloreda did not reconsider the decision to deny the invalidity.
Subsequently, the lawyer Jorge Páramo, Defender of the patrolman Rodríguez, asked Lloreda to ask some questions, to which he refused.

For his part, the patrolman Rodríguez did agree to answer the questions asked by his lawyer. The first thing he said is that he is 30 years old, and for 11 years he has been in the Police.
On what happened before the capture of Javier Ordóñez, the uniformed man said that he was with his partner Juan Camilo LLoreda on Avenida Cali with 26, in Bogotá, when they received information about a fight, and went to the place, where a group of people who were fighting, among them he counted, there were people identified as fans of Millionaires “who apparently had had problems with Javier and his companions.”
Rodríguez went on to say that they asked people to dissipate and go home, they waited for the rest of the people from Millonarios to leave and then “we arrived at 77a with 53 and we approached Javier and Wilder and told them to leave to their houses and avoid problems, and they begin to insult us, that we leave there bastards, toads, thieves, tombos, that was their problem, “he said.
He added that they waited with Lloreda to see if Ordóñez and his companions actually entered their homes and, when they went to start on the motorcycle, “Javier comes in front of the motorcycle, he lunges straight ahead, and hits my partner Juan Camilo Lloreda several times on the face, helmet and head “.
Given the situation, Rodríguez said that he followed Ordóñez to stop him, but then Wilder (Salazar) and Juan David, who were with the law student, went towards him, so, as a deterrent, he fired a shot to the ground. Meanwhile, Ordóñez continued beating Lloreda and although the latter drew his taser, he could not contain Ordóñez.

“The partner makes the second impact of the taser on his back, I manage to take him by one arm to reduce it. When we manage to reduce it, the three of us fall to the ground, my radio is loose and the only thing I can do is put my body so I can hold his hands while my partner tells him to put his hands behind him, so he can handcuff him. I managed to handcuff him with only one hand, but he was a very big man, with a lot of force “, narrated Rodríguez.
He said that although he did not see how many times LLoreda activated the taser against Ordóñez, he heard the sound “approximately 3 or 4 times”, but said that it was to neutralize it because he had a lot of strength, and he was a man of about 1.85 meters of height.
After this, another uniformed man arrived to support them to finish handcuffing Ordóñez and put him on the patrol in which they took him to the CAI. He went on to say that he was not the one who put him on the patrol, and in fact, Rodríguez did not return to the CAI in that patrol, in which they also took Wilder Salazar, but arrived a few minutes after his companions and Ordóñez.
Upon arriving at the CAI, Rodríguez said, he went to wash his hands and saw that “comrade Juan Camilo Lloreda is hitting him with his feet approximately 4 times in the stomach and ribs.”
Comrade Juan Camilo Lloreda is hitting him with his feet approximately 4 times on the stomach and ribs.
Given that, Rodríguez described, asked Lloreda not to hit Ordóñez anymore, But then he left the CAI together with another policeman to return to the scene of the events to collect more information and personal data. Within the CAI only Lloreda remained, he said.
When he returned to the CAI, what he noticed was that Ordóñez, whose back was turned, “is running to the back, we think he was hitting himself.” However, They then noticed that the law student’s breathing was weak and called a vehicle to transport him to a medical center.
“The handcuffs are released, I lift him by the arms and we take him out with Wilder and Juan David (who had arrived at the CAI) to the outside, they put him in the car. Afterwards the vehicle starts with the three of them in the vehicle, It starts for the Santa María del Lago clinic, and with Juan Camilo (Lloreda) we go to the clinic behind the vehicle “.
He ended by saying that when we got there “we had to take him by the arm and feet to the main resuscitation entrance, and I entered with Javier and the nurses until resuscitation. Juan David began to insult me, to tell me that he was going to kill me”, He said.
Then he learned of Ordóñez’s death.
