After the accident, the National Police, Firefighters, security guards and workers, with shovels and picks, began to remove the earth to help the two workers, while the stunned and tearful residents asked for help. Unfortunately, the landslide was so big that it took a while to find the two bodies.
While waiting for the arrival of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the relatives, in the midst of a scene of pain, identified the deceased victims as Marcos Espinoza (36) and Zósimo Arias (44), one of them a workers’ leader, who leaves six children orphaned. The relatives claimed the working conditions, since according to their colleagues there was alleged negligence by the resident and the person responsible for security at the construction site.
