Daffne Santana (30) will be one of the keys this week and her testimony could define the situation of businessman Francisco Sáenz Valiente (52), detained since March 30 accused of femicide. She is the only witness that morning who has not yet appeared in court to tell what she saw.
The morning of the tragedy, the businessman participated in a private party with four women in his department of Libertad at 1500, in Retiro. Juliana Magalhaes Mourao (37), a Brazilian doctor who brought Emmily Rodrífues Santos Gomes (26) as a guest; Lía Alves and Daffne Santana, all Brazilians living in Buenos Aires.
The reconstruction of that morning will be the key to determining what happened around 9 a.m. when Sáenz Valiente made two calls to 911 to request a patrol car, preceded by at least three neighbors who also communicated when they heard screams and calls for help coming from the sixth floor. .
This is how Emmily Rodrígues Santos Gómes (26) was dressed the night she would end up dying.
Francisco Sáenz Valiente: –Yes, what's up. I need an officer I have a girl who is very upset at home
Operator: –Disturbed in what way?
FSV: –Altered. If they can come quickly because he is yelling a lot.
Operator: – Do you know her?
FSV: –I saw her today, her friend, yes. She is yelling a lot. She is like possessed.
Francisco Sáenz Valiente, the businessman who owns the department where a woman fell and died in Retiro.
Juliana and Lia, Emmily's two friends, testified in the same vein. They talked about drugs, alcohol and an excited state of the young woman who finally fell into the void and ended up dead. Francisco Sáenz Valiente's version had been supported by the two witnesses. The last one, Daffne, will have to tell what she saw before leaving the apartment where Emmily would die two hours later.
the chats
"Fat, where are you going? I went downstairs and you were gone. I bank you," Emmily wrote at 5:53 a.m. to her friend Daffne. Then she called her without answer. And hours later she, the young woman, replied: "Friend, I got home. I'm going to pamper myself, tomorrow I have to do things."
What Daffne will have to explain is why she left the party, if she should wait for Emmily to leave together or why she stayed at Sáenz Valiente's house if she wanted to leave.
Lia Alves, the other woman, declared that she left the apartment around 8:00, an hour before the woman jumped off the balcony.
The chats between the victim and the fourth member of the party that ended in tragedy.
"Something terrible happened, something terrible happened," Francisco Sáenz Valiente sent him by text message when the young woman fell into the void. It was to reply to a previous message in which she asked him "not to invite her anymore when she was with Emmily", supposedly because of the degree of "arousal" she had from her and the amount of drugs she had consumed.
"What she declares is that they were having a drink and that Emmily was talking to Sáenz Valiente and that she pushes him, gets angry, yells at him and goes to the kitchen. Lia follows her to calm her down and see what happened. Francis enters and they talk again ", the lawyer representing the complaint, Ignacio Trimarco, told Clarín. Thus, one of the testimonies would indicate that there was a conflict prior to the fatal outcome, although it is not clear why.
Francisco Saenz Valiente
The truth is that Lia decides to leave the party and an hour later the situation "got out of control". At the time of the event, Sáenz Valiente and Juliana Mourao were present, who was delayed for the first 24 hours and then released by the courts.
"We do not understand why Juliana is not detained, if she was there, she took her to that place," the victim's friends questioned.
The truth is that Daffne should appear to testify this Tuesday, just like a neighbor who called 911 when she saw that the young woman was asking for help at the window in front of the building.
The injury 18
The autopsy carried out on Emmily's body determined that Rodrígues Sosa fell naked into the void. And that she died as a result of "polytrauma, internal and external bleeding." She also ensures that there were no "defense-compatible injuries" or previous signs of abuse.
The window Emmily fell out of is 3 feet high. According to the lawyers for the victim's family, at the same height the body has a dragging injury that would prove that it was thrown.
But Trimarco highlights the lesion number 18: "Excoriative and parchment-like area of 13 by 9 centimeters, with dragging pattern in the thorax and right abdomen at the level of the right hypochondrium."
For the lawyer, the "drag" is key to proving "if it was a homicide." As explained to Clarín, "the window through which Emmily falls is 90 centimeters from the floor, at the same height as the scratch. The dragging injury indicates that she was resisting, leaning against the window, and ended up being pushed." inferred.
Sáenz Valiente's defense quickly denied this accusation and told Télam: "The expert who did the autopsy, which is ultimately the only opinion that matters in scientific terms, concluded that there are no traces of injuries or defensive-type marks." said Rafael Cuneo Libarona.
And he insisted: "In none of the injuries described can the undersigned affirm with scientific rigor that so-called 'defense' injuries can be highlighted."
Emmily Rodrigues, the 26-year-old Brazilian girl who died when she fell from a sixth floor on Libertad Street at 1500, in the City of Buenos Aires.
As Clarín was able to learn, Cúneo Libarona will make a presentation this week to request the release of his defendant, close to the expiration of the procedural deadlines from the investigation for the prosecutor Santiago Vismara to determine if it is appropriate to prosecute him with preventive detention or release him.
"We believe that because there are procedural risks, whether it be flight or hindering the investigation, he must be detained," insisted Trimarco.
