The mayor of the commune of Maipú, Tomás Vodanovic (RD), called on the authorities to eradicate the seizure where the body of a kidnapped former Venezuelan soldier was found.
The settlement, inhabited mainly by people from Haiti and Venezuela, is located on Camino a Melipilla and Santa Marta, very close to the main Pajaritos avenue. The body of former lieutenant Ronald Ojeda was found there by the PDI. It was inside a suitcase, buried 1.4 meters and covered with cement blocks.
“The discovery of the body of the former Venezuelan soldier is the latest of multiple crimes that are committed in said camp, and that affect our neighbors daily,” Vodanovic said on his social networks.
“We reiterate our urgent call to all State institutions to eradicate this illegal seizure as soon as possible,” was their call.
On Instagram he added that “the illegal takeover of Camino a Melipilla is a permanent source of crimes and incivilities that daily affect the safety of our neighbors and the quality of public space.”
“This camp should never have been allowed, and although we know that its eradication is an extremely complex operation that requires the State as a whole, it is imperative to generate concrete actions as soon as possible,” he assured.
Suspect arrest
Today at 11:00 a.m. the detention control was scheduled – in an RPA (Adolescent Criminal Responsibility) room – of a 17-year-old Venezuelan minor, the only one detained even in relation to the crime of Lieutenant Ronald Ojeda.
The Guarantee Court accepted the ECOH request from the Prosecutor’s Office and extended the detention control until Monday, March 4, due to pending proceedings.
