The disciplinary trial against the patrolmen Juan Camilo Lloreda Cubillos and Harby Damián Rodríguez Díaz started, this Thursday, with a harsh statement from the delegate attorney Aura Fajardo who spoke of “excessive force” on the part of the two uniformed men.
The first to hear the arguments against him was Lloreda Cubillos, of whom the official said that, according to the video that recorded part of the procedure, “he repeatedly operates his weapon of reduced lethality” against the humanity of Javier Ordóñez, ” that he was already in a defenseless state on the ground, ”Noticias Caracol reported.
The delegate attorney questioned the fact that Lloreda did not stop the punishment with the ‘taser’ pistol despite the victim’s pleas, and more so when the uniformed man “attended and completed the studies” for the proper handling of that tool.
The patrolman, according to the official, knew of the risks involved in making several electric shocks on the humanity of the lawyer in training, in events that occurred on September 9 in the town of Engativá, in the northwest of Bogotá.
“It denotes a possible homicide by the institutional”, warned the attorney Fajardo, thus upsetting Lloreda, since the uniformed man, according to the newscast, had told the Police Human Rights overseer that he had only brought the ‘taser’ gun to his body so that he would allow himself to be handcuffed , but that “he did not activate it so that he knew that he was going to put it on.”
“I was under the effect of some substance because so that the two cartridges of the ‘taser’ would not hit contact, because that man had a lot of strength ”, alleged the patrolman.
As for the police officer Harby Rodríguez, El Tiempo explained that the Attorney General’s Office accused him of allegedly hitting and kicking Javier Ordóñez at the CAI Villa Luz, after he was transferred there in handcuffs.
“Apparently, he used force in a disproportionate, inappropriate and excessive manner,” according to the indictment, which is cited by that outlet.
The control body considers that the patrollers, detained in a prison in Facatativá (Cundinamarca), “attacked violently” against the victim, despite the fact that she was already reduced and implored them to stop.
That was why the Attorney General’s Office attributed them to charges of murder and abuse of force, and the hearing was postponed to Friday at 8:30 in the morning, and will begin with the evidence stage.
The diligence this Thursday had several delays, says El Tiempo, because the two involved asked for it to be postponed, arguing that since they had resigned from the public defender they did not have lawyers, and because, according to them, they had not been given the indictment.
This is part of the statement of Attorney Fajardo.
