This Monday, February 14, at 2:30 p.m., a sit-in is announced in front of the Carchi Prosecutor’s Office, to support Marco Parra, a police sergeant who is being prosecuted for the crime of homicide. He would have acted in defense and was injured in that event.
The uniformed officer will take the opportunity to deliver to the provincial prosecutor a letter addressed to the State Attorney General, Diana Salazar, with requests in accordance with a clamor from the citizens that demands the clarification of this event.
On January 15, 2022, at 9:00 p.m., in the Cotocollao sector, in Quito, two armed foreign citizens entered a restaurant, where Sergeant Parra was, being attacked and wounded near the ear by one of them.
Cayambe judge declares innocent the police major sued by lawyers from the Public Defender’s Office, criticized for the release of four criminals
Another person was also injured during the raid by the assailants. The criminals stripped those who were in the food establishment of their belongings. Parra says that on the floor, defenseless and bleeding, he reacted by progressively using force.
He pulled out his crew weapon and activated it. One of the shots affected the humanity of one of the criminals, who died. The other antisocial ran away, says the uniformed man.
‘We feel defenseless at the legal level,’ says Santiago Olmedo, a policeman sentenced for shooting down two alleged criminals
Remember that he used the weapon in legitimate defense and preserving the lives of the citizens who were in the premises. After this event, Parra, of Carchense origin, is prosecuted.
He continues to serve, but must appear every Wednesday at the Prosecutor’s Office. The judge restricted his departure from the country.
The institutional command is supporting the subordinate with legal defense. In addition, two private lawyers defend Parra, who asks for speed and justice in this case that he entered the final stretch and demands that he confirm his innocence.
Having charged him with homicide, the professional police procedure is being ignored, the defense maintains. (I)
