Lawyer Eloy Llanos requested today that a psychiatric examination be carried out on former police officer Santiago Paco Mamani, to determine if he suffers from any mental illness, however this was denied by the magistrates of the Criminal Chamber.

At the hearing of the oral trial, the defense of Diana Apaza maintained that the aim is not to determine Paco’s inimputability, but rather to separate his client from the murder, since if it is found that Paco is used to killing, it is difficult for his client to be his accomplice.
Lawyer requested reconstruction
He gave as an example the case of “Loco del hammer”, who despite suffering from a mental illness, is serving a life sentence in the Tacna prison. The technical defense of the former police officer was also added to the request.

He also requested that a reconstruction of the murder of Judith Machaca be made, but this was also rejected by the court. The Prosecutor’s Office had objected that Paco made three statements about the way in which he killed Judith Machaca and I don’t know which one the reconstruction would be made of.
Witnesses will be called for the first time
Paco sent videos acknowledging the murder of two young people (Judith Machaca and Nohemi E.) and that in the framework of the investigation, after being arrested, he gave more details about how he would have committed the crimes and hidden the bodies in a 90-meter well in La Yarada.
For Llanos, the valid one is the one that was made in the Pocollay Prison where the Prosecutor’s Office, the Police and the lawyers participated. The next session was scheduled for Monday, November 28 at 3:00 p.m. In this session, the witnesses of the crime against Nohemí (14) will be called for the first time.
