19-year-old girl dies after violent fight
A group of people tried to enter the house and the homeowner, trying to defend himself, caused the death of the young woman
Santiago de Chile. In Villa Raúl Silva Henríquez de Cerrillos, a violent fight resulted in the tragic death of a 19-year-old girl. According to Carabineros Colonel Gonzalo Urbina, a group of people tried to enter an apartment in the commune, attacking the resident family, in an incident that shocked the community.
The confrontation, which involved forcing the door and the use of knives, led the owner of the home, a 53-year-old man, to defend himself by grabbing a knife from one of the attackers. In the midst of the response, he allegedly injured a woman, who ultimately lost her life from her injuries.
A video captured by a neighbor shows the moment in which the young woman, part of the fight, approaches the door and receives a fatal wound to the neck from inside the home. Although she was taken to a hospital, medical efforts could not save her life.
The 19-year-old victim had a history of theft.
It was reported that two days after the incident, the 53-year-old man was captured, who has a history of threats, injuries and driving while intoxicated.
Both the victim and the aggressor, their identities were reserved by the Carabineros authorities, while they carry out the investigations.
The suspect will be subjected to interrogation and legal prosecution to clarify the details of the tragic event. The Carabineros Police continue to collect information to determine the origin of the fight and possible disputes between the parties involved.
