Juan José Córdoba Salto, the father of the volunteer soldier who died from two shots to the head in Zapala, reiterated that “They murdered my son”detailed the irregularities committed in the investigation, and criticized the judge in the case, Hugo Grega. “Who are you looking for to tell you that my son committed suicide?”he asked at the door of the federal courthouse.
Pablo Córdoba’s father, who is an Army non-commissioned officer, was the only speaker after the march that took place five months after the death of the 21-year-old young man. The protesters walked under snow and rain, with temperatures below zeroon an inclement day in the central city of Neuquén.
«It was not a single person, but I think it was two or more those who cowardly killed him,” said Juan José.
He pointed out that “there is a lot of evidence in the file that indicates that my son was killed.” He mentioned “the expertise carried out by the Gendarmerie, which He found no fingerprints on the rifle. “which was in their hands for practically 8 hours” between May 31 and June 1.
He added that “at the scene of the incident the Federal Police that day “he took a pod” when “it was known that there were two shots. A pod was found 15 days later, and a cartridge 33 days later, under a log. “Someone explain to me how that cartridge got there.”
The two shots
Regarding the analysis of the clothing that the soldier was wearing, he mentioned that “due to the bleeding pattern” my son “he had to have been sitting”.
“This indicates,” he continued, “that he couldn’t have shot himself with the rifle at least under the chin, because the rifle is a meter long and the trajectory is impossible to achieve”.
Pablo appeared with two bullets, one entered him under the chin and the other through the right temple. The projectiles were not recovered, and the caliber of the weapon is unknown..
Juan José added that Judge Greca “requested a second extension of the autopsy”, this time from the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation. According to the work of the forensic experts of the province of Neuquén, the soldier couldn’t make moves after the first shot, whichever it was, and both alone they had the authority to cause his death.
«Within the testimonies – the father continued – the witnesses say that they heard a shot in the non-commissioned officers’ casino sector. It’s like me telling you that a shot was heard in the courthouse and “They went to look in the opposite place.”.
“Judge, get to work”
«All these common sense questions indicate that my son was killed, so my question remains: When are they going to work to get justice for Pablo? Why does justice act the way it does, why does the judge walk through the hallways looking for allies of the press? Mr. Judge Greca, what is he looking for, what else does he want to find, who are he looking for to be told that my son committed suicide? Get to work”.
In that tone, he continued: “You know that they killed my son”.
As the snow fell, he added that “our marches are like that, simple, we are not going to throw stones, we are not going to defame anyone, we are not going to attack anyone. We simply want justice. They took the life of my son, who was 21 years old. I just want justice so I can rest in peace. “I promised him and I’m not going to stop until we get to the end of all this.”.
«Believe me, it hurts every day to wake up and just settle for seeing your photo, or remembering the things we did together. “The meaning of my life is now only to worry about seeking justice.”.
