This Thursday, March 13, the test advance audience is held in the case of the doctor Kevin Malouf.
The nurse Luis Castro pays his statement in the Fourth Criminal Court.
The Malouf surgeon and his medical team are pointed out of the disappearance of Floridalma Roque after cosmetic surgery.
The lawyer Alejandro Arriaza tried to suspend the hearing, indicated that he denounced Luis Castro for alleged threats.
Arriaza was in his argument when a blackout occurred and the audience was postponed for a few minutes until the connection with the Mariscal Zavala prison was restored.
Prosecutor Marlon Ordoñez of the Femicide Prosecutor’s Office presented his arguments and opposed the request for a hearing suspension raised by the Malouf lawyer.
However, Judge Pedro Laynez rejected the request for a hearing and this gives way to Luis Castro’s statement in evidence.
