The jurist confirmed that the version they are handling so far is that it was a robbery. “Yes, that is the version we are currently handling. It’s a robbery. We were able to speak with her for a few minutes and she stated that she was even stripped of a part of her clothing,” he indicated, while denying rumors on social media that suggested the artist had been firing shots into the air. “No, it’s not the version we handle. I have to have the version that has been established for me, even her sister was present at the scene and it’s the version she has told me,” said Toribio. Furthermore, it reported that the authorities took over the case from the beginning and that, for security reasons, an agent of the National Police remains guarding the artist in the health center. “From the beginning, the authorities have been investigating, including for security reasons, an agent of the National Police remains under care so that no one can enter and perhaps complete or harm the artist,” he added. To conclude, the lawyer reiterated that “La Demente’s” health condition is stable. “For the moment, he came out of surgery a few hours ago and is in the recovery room and we hope that he continues with a positive evolution as until now,” he expressed.
