Neighbor allegedly punished the child
However, according to the testimony of Jhon Jairo, the boy’s stepfather, to a local media outlet, a neighbor allegedly punished the boy because he had apparently been mischievous. “I went out with my wife to the town and the boy stayed at home getting ready to go to church. When we were in the gallery, a neighbor came and told me we punished Jhon Fredy; I replied that if I had hit him, he was going to get into serious trouble with the law. A neighbor took me on her motorcycle to the house and, upon entering, I found a shocking scene. I desperately asked for help and took him to the doctor, where he arrived without vital signs,” he said.
Finally, they are awaiting the results of the investigations to understand the causes of this tragedy that has plunged a family from Huila into mourning.
