During this interrogation, the suspect invoked his right to remain silent.”
The suspect was questioned once more Thursday morning, but once once more invoked his right to silence.
“He was presented in the followingnoon to the investigating judge, who decided to place him under arrest warrant for murder,” added the prosecution. “He admitted being responsible for the death of the victim, but did not wish to make any further statements. He will appear before the council chamber on Tuesday.”
