00:00...a scandal for a new attempt to suspend the trial for the murder of Catalina Gutierrez.

00:08This is outrageous, isn't it? The accused claimed not to be in a position to face the trial.

00:14However, everything indicates that he is.

00:17Nestor Soto is the accused of having murdered Catalina Gutierrez.

00:21He tried to suspend the trial in all possible ways.

00:25He pretended to be crazy, he wanted to say that he was not guilty.

00:29He was hospitalized, but the latest news, Mariana, is that the trial is finally going to be held.

00:36Luckily.

00:37Until we started the program, I didn't know if it was going to be held.

00:40No, it's going to start tomorrow.

00:41Tomorrow.

00:42An interdisciplinary board said, clearly, this man understands what happened.

00:47Let's remember with a report who Catalina Gutierrez is.

00:50It's been a year since the murder.

00:52He was her friend, Soto, the one who ended up killing Catalina.

00:57He had called her, they had been drinking together.

00:59He tried to find her, he wanted to help in the search,

01:03being the one who had killed her and had abandoned her in a car that later caught fire.

01:08Let's go to the report.

01:11At this time, the trial should have started with Nestor Soto.

01:14It is the 21-year-old young man who killed Catalina Gutierrez, his friend,

01:19choking her to death.

01:22But now, the bad news for the young woman's family

01:25is that it is not known when the trial will begin,

01:28since the murderer was admitted to a psychological assistance center.

01:33A new strategy of his defense?

01:36On July 17, 2024, in Cordoba,

01:39Catalina Gutierrez had gone to look for Nestor Soto at his house

01:43with the purpose of going together to a meeting with friends.

01:47However, they never arrived,

01:49since Catalina was subjected to brutal blows inside the house.

01:54Everything ended with a strangulation followed by death.

01:59Then the murderer moved Catalina's body in the car

02:03to the Ampliación Kennedy neighborhood,

02:06where he abandoned the vehicle with the intention of setting it on fire.

02:10But his attempt to erase the evidence failed,

02:13since neither the car nor Catalina Gutierrez's body

02:17were completely consumed by the flames.

02:20The surveillance cameras captured him taking Catalina's body out of her home.

02:25The Gutierrez family managed to locate her thanks to her sister,

02:29who used the tracking of her cell phone.

02:32For his part, Soto managed to evade his responsibility for a few hours

02:36and even came to collaborate with the victim's search.

02:40But the next day, when he declared as a witness,

02:43he ended up confessing the crime.

02:45It was the love of my life, he said.

02:48Weeks later, he ratified his confession in the Courts of Cordoba.

02:52There was no escape.

02:54The judicial process entered into a mantle of doubts.

02:58Is he really not able to face a trial?

03:01Or is it just a strategy not to go to jail?

03:08We are going to ask Catalina's father, Marcelo Gutierrez.

03:11How are you, Marcelo?

03:14Hello, good afternoon. How are you?

03:16Hello, Marcelo.

03:17Some time later, we are not talking.

03:19The whole process is going on.

03:21We have been accompanying you since that fateful day

03:24when you lost Catalina's life.

03:26And now, finally facing trial,

03:28something that you believed until a while ago,

03:30nothing more, that could not happen, right?

03:32Is it a strategy of this man to reveal everything?

03:37Look, the truth is that I had been thinking,

03:40I came home from work in a hurry to be able to participate with you

03:47and tell you that I am very anxious about this issue.

03:51I am not happy, but I am calm in a way

03:55because we thought that this whole way of dilating,

04:00let's say that it was a strategy,

04:02which surely it can be or not,

04:05Today, they did an interview at 12 o'clock, at noon,

04:11and well, they only focused on whether you are in a position to ask questions

04:17and answers for the trial,

04:19and they all agreed, the experts, that yes.

04:22So, well, of course, we are preparing for tomorrow.

04:26How are you preparing as a family?

04:29I understand that what starts tomorrow is very important.

04:32Why does it seem interesting to me to listen to you

04:35as the father of a victim of a femicide like Catalina's?

04:39Why is the trial important?

04:41Why is justice important for you?

04:43Because Catalina will not return, but why is it important?

04:48Yes, of course.

04:51As you say, there is no way,

04:53we are going to start a new life without Catalina,

04:59with the eternal pain of her absence.

05:02And of course it is important,

05:04because it is, in a way, to close,

05:06in principle, to close a chapter of this horror movie,

05:12of a nightmare that we are going through,

05:15that we would never have thought,

05:17not even in the worst dream,

05:19to lose a child, and in this way,

05:22in the hands of a friend,

05:24a horrible, frightening thing, the way it was.

05:27And on the other hand,

05:29as a minimum, to pay tribute

05:34and for the honor of Catalina,

05:36that justice is given, and it is important,

05:39so that it does not happen again,

05:42or at least be attentive to the parents

05:45who have children of the age of Catalina,

05:48daughters of those people who mistreat him,

05:51who make him feel bad,

05:53who want to have all the power.

05:56It's a kind of trauma,

05:58that you let go,

06:00and then you discover that there were warnings.

06:03Yes, of course, because it is difficult,

06:05for psychopaths, it is difficult to identify them,

06:08because apparently he looked like a normal person,

06:11and yet, look at what ended up happening,

06:14the friend who theoretically wanted her,

06:17to see her best friend,

06:19what ends up happening.

06:21And the terrible thing is to think

06:23that there was no trial,

06:25that maybe he would be locked up

06:27in an institution for mentally ill,

06:29which is fine, and he will be locked up,

06:31but let's say, that's not the idea,

06:33the process serves for something.

06:35No, no, surely.

06:37Exactly.

06:38That's why, surely, for us,

06:40the trial is very important,

06:42because first, because everything has to be elucidated

06:46as it was, and that justice falls

06:48with all the weight that corresponds

06:50for what it did, for the damage it did

06:52to the whole society,

06:54not only to us as a family,

06:56but to society, because in Córdoba

06:58there are many, 60,000 students or more,

07:00who come from the countryside

07:02to do their studies and so on,

07:05and suddenly they see themselves

07:07in this situation that can happen

07:09to anyone, because it's fine,

07:11it's not good to be afraid,

07:13but yes, for example,

07:15a psychologist who attends my wife

07:19tells her that every 3,000 people

07:21there is a psychopath in our society,

07:23it doesn't mean that they kill everyone,

07:25but you have to be careful,

07:27and at least...

07:29Yes, Franco?

07:31Marcelo, Soto and Soto's defense

07:35insist that it was a children's game,

07:39I reproduce this, of course,

07:41condemning it, in no way

07:43could it have been a children's game.

07:45Do you think that Soto's strategy,

07:47to this day at least,

07:49was to avoid a trial by jury,

07:51because I understand that the trial

07:53will be by jury, and therefore

07:55the fact that he has to witness it

07:57will undoubtedly be infinitely,

07:59I would say, more mobilizing for him.

08:01Yes, yes, the truth is that

08:03honestly I can't tell you

08:05what the strategy will be,

08:07but yes, obviously,

08:09it is a trial by jury,

08:11there are 8 popular jurors,

08:13well, we fully trust

08:15the justice, the jury,

08:17because the evidence

08:19shows completely

08:21what happened,

08:23that it was a murder,

08:25that it was a divorce,

08:27both give him a life sentence,

08:29so I trust that,

08:31in the justice above all.

08:33I was thinking, Marcelo,

08:35what you were just talking about,

08:37the issue of the signals,

08:39I remember that you had told us

08:41at that moment that you had not

08:43noticed any signal,

08:45did that change,

08:47that there was a lot of noise,

08:49and now, given what happened,

08:51why do you emphasize so much

08:53the issue of the signals?

08:55No, because,

08:57let's say,

08:59how could one have prevented this?

09:01We have spoken with psychologists,

09:03with psychiatrists,

09:05Of course, as a father,

09:07you say, I could have done something

09:09to prevent it,

09:11but the answer is not no,

09:13the answer is not no,

09:15it is difficult to detect a psychopath,

09:17it is difficult to detect,

09:19because they are,

09:21it is as if they camouflage themselves

09:23behind a personality,

09:25a good, nice person,

09:27and suddenly, of course,

09:29it is impossible, but yes,

09:31for example, later,

09:33with the newspaper on Monday,

09:35with stories that are going to come out

09:37in the trial,

09:39where there are witnesses,

09:41companions and others who say,

09:43yes, I was a friend,

09:45and she was telling me

09:47why I am with this friend

09:49and I am not with another friend,

09:51then, of course, but unfortunately,

09:53after what happened, right?

09:55They are small things.

09:57Of course, things that you see

09:59all together, and then what happened

10:01make sense, but at the time

10:03they did not attract attention,

10:05more than common things that happen

10:07between boys who are friends, right?

10:09Yes, Lu?

10:11I remember a story that you told us,

10:13where Catalina called him crying

10:15because she said that Nestor

10:17had made her cry because

10:19she had told him that she was a bad friend,

10:21because he had not gone to such a place,

10:23I don't know what he was complaining about,

10:25as if it were, I don't know what,

10:27then she felt bad,

10:29because she was such a good person,

10:31and such a good friend,

10:33she felt bad, then surely

10:35the boyfriend would say,

10:37but don't give him a shot,

10:39because they are sensitive,

10:41they tend to empathize with each other,

10:43because I remember that

10:45you had told here at DDM

10:47that he,

10:49let's say, somehow

10:51approached asking

10:53Catalina for help,

10:55as a person who had a hard time

10:57socializing more,

10:59and that he was constantly

11:01asking her for support.

11:03Yes, he was possessive.

11:05Yes, totally,

11:07totally possessive,

11:09obviously,

11:11with what later

11:13could be proven,

11:15but until that moment

11:17he was a colleague of the faculty,

11:19a good colleague,

11:21a friend considered by Catalina.

11:23No one could see this coming.

11:25The moment he came home,

11:27he was here, hello, bye,

11:29but I had no dialogue

11:31or deepened a subject,

11:33because the boys were in their things,

11:35he brought them to the faculty

11:37and he was calm because he said,

11:39it doesn't matter if he comes back with Néstor

11:41or he is with him,

11:43you will never imagine

11:45that something could come that way,

11:47it is impossible.

11:49How important is tomorrow

11:51for you as a family,

11:53Marcelo, what do you feel

11:55will happen to you when you see him there,

11:57you will have him next to you,

11:59you will look at him.

12:01Yes, the truth is that

12:03I could not tell you

12:05what will happen to me tomorrow

12:07because it is impossible.

12:09If you asked me before,

12:11what happens if one day

12:13your son dies, it is impossible.

12:15Until you live that moment,

12:17it is a terrible thing,

12:19you can't believe it.

12:21Tomorrow, I don't know what will happen,

12:23but what I want is to look at him,

12:25to be there in front of him

12:27and see how handsome he was

12:29what he did with my daughter,

12:31I want him to put his face

12:33and ask for justice.

12:35And face the consequences

12:37of his actions,

12:39because it gives the feeling

12:41that he would have denied

12:43what he did.

12:45And pretending to be crazy.

12:47And pretending to be crazy

12:49and lying, looking for her

12:51as if he did not know where she was.

12:53It is not easy to pretend to be crazy.

12:55That's why he did the last one,

12:57and it went wrong.

12:59He was a narcissist,

13:01egocentric,

13:03all the time talking about him.

13:05He said, I ruined my life.

13:07The victim to him.

13:11Marcelo, I send you

13:13a big hug for you,

13:15for your wife, for the family

13:17and we will be accompanying you in the process,

13:19doing justice by force for Catalina.

13:21I send you a big hug.

13:23Justice will come,

13:25and lies have short legs

13:27and the weight of the law will fall

13:29as it corresponds to the chain of perpetrators of femicide.
