Lawyer Cadena began his argument by saying that Ana María Castro “is not a femicide”, and in an interview with Blue Radio He explained that because of the way in which the prosecution exposes the case, it is as if Paul Naranjo, who was driving the truck, “had thrown it out of the vehicle.”
“It turns out that the Prosecutor’s Office forgets that not two men (Naranjo and Julián Ortegón) were in the car, but three. Mateo Reyes was also going. At what time does the Attorney General get off the Mateo Reyes car? There is a very forceful video where you can see that the truck stopped and that the two young men got out, ”said the lawyer.
Cadena assured that his client could not have thrown the young woman while she was driving, and asked the following question. “If I am driving a truck at 60 km / h, do I turn over and throw it, and keep driving? That is nonsense, something illogical, ”he replied.
The lawyer alleged, in the station, that he is aware of this type of death because he provided his services for a taxi company, and that according to his theories “when an object is thrown from a moving car, nothing is left. And a human body suffers multiple injuries ”.
Cadena appealed to the version given by Mateo Reyes, according to which Naranjo possibly started the truck and Ana María Castro lost her balancetaking into account, he said, that she was lying in the vehicle.
Ana María Castro’s ex-boyfriend said her death would be due to an accident
This version was also given by the ex-boyfriend of the victim Felipe Moreno, who in dialogue with Caracol Radio told what Mateo Reyes told him would have happened that morning of March 5, 2020 on Calle 80 with Carrera 69, in the north of Bogotá , after they got out of the truck.
“That Ana María had poked out the trunk, half of her body, to argue with Paul and Julián (Ortegón), and that the truck had accelerated and that she went flying. That, then, the accident had depended on her and that he tried to call for an ambulance and stop one, but he couldn’t, “Moreno said, citing what, according to him, Reyes told him in a call.
However, the Prosecutor’s Office clings to the thesis that “Castro is presumed to have been thrown” from the truck, and that “in the fall he received traumatic blows.”
In this case, he charged Paul Naranjo with the crime of aggravated femicide, which was not accepted and the defense offered compensation. The young man was sent to a prison while the investigation progresses.
