7 Chilean ex-cops convicted in killing of indigenous man 2 minutes read
Santiago, Jan 7 (efe-epa).- A former member of Chile’s militarized national police was found guilty of homicide Thursday for the 2018 killing of a Mapuche man in a case that forced high-level resignations and brought renewed scrutiny of the Carabineros force.
The judge in the southern city of Angol convicted six other ex-Carabineros of putting pressure on witnesses and obstructing justice in their efforts to protect Carlos Alarcon, who fired the shot that killed Camilo Catrillanca.
Defense lawyer Cristian Inostroza, who advised Alarcon and his colleagues to lie about what happened, was likewise found guilty of obstruction.
