Santiago – The murder of the lawyer Freddy Zarzuela confirmed last weekend, but perpetrated last Tuesday, worries the legal community, who have reacted with shock to the fourth crime against a legal professional and whose cases remain unpunished.
Freddy Zarzuela, had been reported missing since last Tuesday and his family found out he was dead, after being found with signs of violence and in a state of decomposition in a garbage dump in the La Delgada community, Villa González municipality, Santiago province.
Zarzuela’s death occurs amid a reputation for criminal acts and murders in Santiago and this weekend the merchant Nelson Fernández Tiburcio was also killed in a robbery when he tried to repel a robbery at a barbershop where he was in the sector of Bella Vista, while in Navarrete, Mr. Eleuterio Toribio, 54, was found dead in his residence.
For this Monday, representatives of the legal community of Santiago have announced a press conference and in social networks and other media have expressed concern about the constant criminal acts against lawyers.
The crime against this lawyer occurs when the case of the jurist Basilio Guzmán is still unpunished at the hands of unknown persons in front of his home in the Cerros de Gurabo sector.
Similarly, the murder of Amancio Herrera Turbí, José Delfín Díaz, who was also murdered and burned with tires in an attempt to dispose of the body, remains unpunished.
The lawyer’s family said they feared that the death of their relative was a case of assassination who, due to the evidence, was kidnapped while he was out for a walk because he was wearing sweatshirt-type pants, which he used only to go out and exercise.
The former president of the Santiago Bar Association José Dolores Jiménez called the Attorney General of the Republic to adopt measures that guarantee the exercise of legal professionals in the country and particularly in Santiago where there are already murders.
He said that apparently, there are groups of criminals in Santiago who believe that they can resolve their differences with lawyers through crime, so he urged those who have differences with any legal professional to go to the unions to resolve it in a civilized manner. .

He was wrapped in a white sheet, which is evidence that he was killed in one place and then dumped there.
Freddy Zarzuela wore black sweatshirt-type pants and no clothing on top.
