The prosecutor said that one of the hypotheses about the motive is that of “difference problems of an economic agreement”.

“I understand that this stems from a request by (Marcela) Acuña against Cecilia to sign a marriage divorce that he had contracted with César (Sena) and I think that, in that exchange of words, in those discussions when they did not reach an agreement between them, they decided to kill him,” he conjectured.
