The FAL rifle carried by volunteer soldier Pablo Gabriel Jesús Córdoba (21), found dead from two shots in different places in the head in the 16th Artillery Group in Zapala, did not automatically reload an ammo after each shot. That task should be executed manuallywhich raises doubts about the possibility that the young man shot himself twice.
On the other hand, the manipulation of the weapon determined that the charger fits normally and has no defects that cause their expulsion accidentally. As is known, the soldier was found on the ground, seriously wounded, with the rifle on the body or 90 centimeters away – the witnesses have contradictions – and the charger on one leg.
For now there is no explanation how it ended up there. It is also not understood why the weapon has no comparable fingerprintsat least from the people who removed it.
The autopsy determined that the young man had two shots to the head. but did not set the caliber.
psychological autopsy
The event occurred on June 1 and the investigation is still labeled as “doubtful death” by the federal court of Zapala subrogated by Hugo Greca. the judge seems Willing to go deeper on the suicide trackperhaps even discarding it, because he commissioned a psychological autopsy of the victim.
It will be carried out once the list of witnesses and expertise is exhausted. A psychologist will review all the material gathered, interview the soldier’s inner circle, his family and friends, and will try to reconstruct his personality and his state of mind at the time of death.
One of the points that this type of study usually reviews is the so-called “pre-suicide warnings”, and in particular, they put the last hours of life under examination. as reported black river newspaperhours before his death Pablo was organizing a barbecue for the next day, and had bought clothes to attend the party for the day of the Argentine soldier which would take place 48 hours later.
In any case, the parents Juan José Córdoba and Natalia Uribe have a powerful argument against the suicide hypothesis: “our son had two shots in different places in the head, one entered his chin and another through his right temple. He could not have committed suicide ».
Repetition or shot by shot
The characteristics of the weapon support that suspicion. As it had transpired from the beginning, the FAL was in position “R” (repetition). A source explained: “This means that after each shot, it had to be manipulated again so that another projectile entered the chamber. It was not automatic, as it is with the single shot position, much less in the burst position.
On August 17, Juan José and Natalia participated in the act for the day of the Liberator San Martín and the pledge of the flag in the Artillery Group. There the father read a message in which he stated that «the murderer(s) are lined up here among us or wear the same uniform«.
Message to the Army
He also sent a message to the Army Chief of Staff, Guillermo Olegario Gonzalo Pereda: “You don’t know how much this father, this chief petty officer, longed for a call from you, Faced with such a painful and irreparable loss of what we had in common, neither more nor less than a comrade.
Instead of the call that Juan José was expecting, the Army sent three high-ranking officers to his house – Brigadier General Hugo Tabbia, Colonel Gustavo Francisco Chimeno, and Lieutenant Colonel Enrique Rafael Lamas – to intimidate him and to clarify that “this is not a Carrasco case”, in reference to the soldier murdered in that same barracks in March 1994.
That meeting was filmed by the parents, the video went viral on social media, but for the judge does not exist: decided not to include it in the file because the military did not give their consent to be recorded.
