At this time He is accused of three crimes: kidnapping, violent carnal access and homicide by position of guarantor.

“The investigation is progressing well. We have clearer findings, with probative elements in which, for the moment, we have individualized the author of these events ”, he told EL TIEMPO an informative source who preferred to omit his name.

Research hypothesis

María Camila Mengual Mojica and Humberto Manuel Olivilla Pineda, parents of the dead baby.

Initially, the authorities had been handling a first hypothesis that indicated that Maria Camila Mengual Mojica, 19-year-old mother of the girl, was accompanied by a person.

“At that time it was unknown who was the companion,” stressed the source.

Later it was learned that the couple arrived with the baby to the motel located at carrera 7 # 43-103 of the neighborhood October 12 of this town, where the events occurred on January 2.

”They left the car running, began to drink, consume hallucinogenic substances and in that act of irresponsibility and pleasure they left the baby in the vehicle for a long time. Upon leaving, they found the girl dead. Many blamed the mother”, sums up the preliminary hypothesis.

However, the keys in the investigative line determine that the young María Camila Mengual Mojica arrived at the Santa Bárbara motel under threats from the minor’s father.

Apparently, Manuel Olivella Pineda intimidated the young woman with a traumatic weapon. He violated her, took her to her place and pressured her to leave the girl in her car.“What is known is that she wanted to get the girl out of the car. He made her leave it there.

She refuses to have sex, continues to threaten her and finally has sex against her will,” the source stresses.

Faced with relevant clues, the authorities issued an arrest warrant against Manuel Olivella Pineda, 23 years old, for the crimes mentioned above. Presumably, she would be fleeing from justice.

“In this case, the mother would also be a victim because I was under duress and being intimidated, everything that has to do with her intention to commit a crime is blurred. An arrest warrant was issued against the girl’s father. The pertinent tasks have been carried out, but this person has not been found so far,” argues the source.

Behind the death surrounding the baby there would be complex disagreements between her parents, Manuel Olivella Pineda and María Camila Mengual Mojica, who lives with her mother in Valledupar.

According to testimonials from some people, the couple had separated months ago because the young man initially refused to recognize the girl.

“At first she did not want to have the baby and refused to register her. When she decided to do it, she wanted to give the girl a name, which the mother refused, “commented the source.

On the day of the events, he would have called her because he wanted to see the girl. When she went to the appointment with the baby, the young man allegedly pulled out the firearm, intimidated her and the unfortunate event occurred that shocked the entire country.

The results of the necropsy established that the little creature died after being poisoned by inhalation of carbon monoxide. It was more than 60 percent saturation. According to specialists, the monoxide turned out to be excessive and this led to her death.

Therefore, it is ruled out that the girl suffered from episodes of child abuse. She had no blows or physical injuries. She rules out that she passed away from some sort of different object.
