Grace Sosa Y silvino baezmother and father of Fernando Baez Sosaspoke after concluding the eighth day for the trial that is taking place in the Oral Criminal Court 1 of Dolores.
“It’s very painful to see my son’s blood everywhere. It looks like they attacked him anyway, they destroyed my son’s entire body. Last night I had a difficult night because I can’t get the word ‘expired’ out of my mind. Also when they said that they would celebrate with wine and flowers. It is a very strong pain to hear all that. But here I am strong thanks to all of you who come to accompany me and I know that you will be strong until the last moment. This cannot go without justice Because they have killed, they have murdered an innocent man who just wanted to go out and have fun with his friends, with his girlfriend,” the woman told reporters.
In his words, Silvino spoke of the images that were shown at the hearing, which according to his lawyer Fernando Burlando they are “irrefutable” regarding the homicide. “I had to see my son’s clothes, the shirt, see all the blood that is all stained on the clothes of the defendants. It always hurts a lot to see that. We keep Fernando in mind, in each hearing he is with us. See the blood stain from so much blow that they gave him is very hard”, he lamented.
Next week it is expected that some relatives of the eight accused rugby players will testify: Máximo Thomsen, Ciro Pertossi, Enzo Comelli, Matías Benicelli, Blas Cinalli, Lucas Pertossi, Ayrton Viollaz and Luciano Pertossi. Given this, Silvino confirmed that they will present themselves.
“Obviously we’re going to be there. That’s why we came, that’s why we’re here. We’re very strong. All the people of Dolores and those who are close to us support us. We draw a lot from that to move forward. It’s not easy for us to see that show you how they kicked him, in what place. He is our son, he is a piece of ours,” he said.
Meanwhile, Silvino ruled out the possibility that the defendants testify and that in any case “the evidence is already there.” “Three years have passed and they have never spoken. Whether they speak now or tomorrow will not change anything. The evidence is already there. Everything we say is referred to evidence. We do not expect anything. We only wait for the return of my son and he never returned . I am not resentful nor do I want revenge. I hope that one day we can talk. For me it is not necessary. With the pain that we carry with us every day, it will be a bigger pain. I prefer to avoid that for now, “he was honest.
As previously stated, Graciela and Silvino will carry out a solidarity collection of non-perishable food and school supplies and an intra-religious prayer on January 18, commemorating the three years of the crime. “He is giving us that strength to stand up”they concluded.
