He entered the courtroom at 11:35 a.m. and, one of the first things he did, was to address the judges of the Oral Criminal Court (TOC) No. 4 of San Isidro, in charge of the third debate for the murder of María Marta Garcia Belsunce. “It’s not just any day for me. I waited 20 years to say everything I have to say and that the murder of my sister does not go unpunished..
Thus began the testimonial statement of Horacio García Belsunce (h), one of the brothers of the sociologist murdered almost 20 years ago in the country Carmel, Pilar, Nicolás Pachelo, a former neighbor of the victim, who is accused, is tried in the trial of being the perpetrator of the crime.
While the victim’s brother testifies, Pachelo, 46, listens carefully. At times he makes notes in a notebook.
García Belsunce (h.) said that he found out that on the morning of October 28, 2002, one day after the death of his sister, Pachelo went to a service station and asked a waiter if anyone knew “who had killed that old lady.”
“Who other than the murderer himself could know that she had been killed. We were watching her thinking that she had died in an accident ”, the witness said.
In part of his story, García Belsunce (h.) defined Diego Molina Pico, the first prosecutor in the case, as a “motherfucker”, “a stupid” and a “scoundrel”.
“These 20 years of impunity have been very hard for the whole family,” the victim’s brother said.
