Furthermore, the court declared the process to be of <strong>complex litigation<\/strong> due to the characteristics of the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision was confirmed after the hearing concluded by <strong>lawyer Bienvenido Mart\u00ednez,<\/strong> legal representative for Robert Hanns S\u00e1nchez Tejada, the victim&#8217;s romantic partner, who served as a witness to the murder, as he was with her at the time of the attack and remained unharmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the aspects that has drawn attention in the process is that<strong> S\u00e1nchez Tejada is listed as a victim within the file<\/strong>, despite the fact that he is currently serving pretrial detention for a different criminal act, a situation that is part of the elements analyzed during the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For his part, \u00c1ngel Toribio Tineo, defense attorney for Marino Antonio Ceballos (Marianito), rejected the coercive measure imposed by the court, considering that the Public Prosecutor&#8217;s Office did not present sufficient evidence to directly link his client to the crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The murder of Margarita D\u00edaz, widely known in sectors of Santiago due to the shock generated among family members and residents of Bella Vista, continues under
