March in Tireo for justice two months after horrific crime

Relatives of the couple Luis Batista and María Magdalena Páez, murdered last January in Tireo, mobilized, leading a march as a protest demanding answers and justice from the authorities.

Two months after the atrocious crime, due to the investigations, silence and uncertainty still cast a shadow over the case. Santiago and Robert Batista, brothers of one of the deceased, among others, with a thirst for justice, expressed the need to know who the killer was and the reason for what happened; that the process has been delayed, where there have been more complex cases and they have been clarified in record time. Relatives along with friends, associates and municipal residents, who joined the demonstration, shouting “We Want Justice” made their discontent known due to the apathy towards the case and the lack of information and follow-up, as well as disinterest on the part of the competent authorities, thus arousing in the municipalities of Tireo and Constanza, not only indignation, but also concern about the lack of consequences.
