Defender said the post-exhumation autopsy report has not yet been released.
Ray Arcentales, father of the model Naomi Arcentales, was one of those who gave their version this Monday morning at the La Merced Prosecutor’s Office, in Guayaquil. One of the relevant points that the father of the victim and his defense highlighted is that the result of the autopsy has not yet been fully revealed and that it cannot be indicated that it would have been a suicide.
The body of the Manabi model was found in the apartment of a building in Manta on December 12. She was the partner of a prosecutor from El Carmen, who is currently suspended.
Months ago, the model had filed a rape complaint against three people for an alleged sexual assault. Naomi’s defense had indicated that there were unjustified delays on the part of the Prosecutor’s Office in this case.

Luigi García, lawyer for Naomi’s family, commented that today they went to one more diligence in the case. Her father, Ray Arcentales, came forward to provide more information to the process.
“We have come to stand up as whistleblowers. Unlike the suspect (Naomi’s ex-partner) who gave his version for Zoom. We cannot yet detail reserved data from the investigation. But this week is very important because we have some people who will give a version, “he explained.
He added that the autopsy report after the exhumation has not yet been released. “This is going to determine the mechanical cause of his death. Asphyxia by hanging. It’s not going to determine who hanged Naomi. This is an element that will contribute to the investigation ”, he commented.

Naomi’s mother also went to the diligence and explained that they will be carrying out all the procedures to find those guilty of death. She rules out that it is a suicide, as she wants to make you think.
Organizations in defense of women’s rights joined the family and held a sit-in in front of the Prosecutor’s Office, then made a tour of the downtown streets, including 9 de Octubre Avenue, and concluded with a sit-in in Rocafuerte square, in front of the San Francisco church, in the center.
More people were expected to add their testimony to this case today to continue the investigations. (I)
