Residents of the sector of the Villa Iris path, located on Vía La Prosperidad, near the municipality of Juan Mina, alerted the authorities on the night of Saturday, June 3, about the discovery of a man’s lifeless body.
It was Jaime Nicolás Mendoza Cuentas, 66, who left his house in the afternoon of the same day and from there his relatives never heard from him again.
In dialogue with EL HERALDO, one of his sons gave details of what had happened. “He went to work like every day and we haven’t heard from him since Saturday afternoon. It was not normal for him to disappear for hours. Yesterday the owner of the taxi came to the house because he didn’t give the fare and my brother told him that we didn’t know about him and that we were looking for him.
The man told them he got a call from a number he didn’t recognize. When the call was returned, a police officer answered and stated that he had found the vehicle
His children immediately went to the CAI where they were told that the car had been taken to the ‘patios’ and that they had not found anyone inside. Then they went to look for him in hospitals and clinics, but they never gave them a reason for Mendoza.
the meeting
Faced with the fear of not finding him, they fearfully approached the legal medicine facilities, where unfortunately their father’s body lay to rest: “We went to legal medicine hoping that they would tell us that he would not be there , but unfortunately when my brother entered and saw the body of a man who had entered he realized it was my father.
There they were told that the authorities had found his body on the night of the same day he disappeared on a trail, and that it was a neighbor of the sector who raised the alarm.
“Everything that happened to him is very strange because according to what they told us in Legal Medicine, my father was found with signs of violence, but the strange thing is that the only thing they took was a cell phone and it was not high-end . He had his documents, his wallet, everything,” the family member said.
What surprises the relatives of the deceased today most is that the taxi, in which he had only been driving for four days, was found a few meters from the body and “the police told us that they found the car with the keys and no one inside. ” there were traces of blood. The strange thing is that there were several pieces of the vehicle around it.”
cry for justice
The relatives of Mendoza Cuentas ask the authorities to investigate the matter and clarify what happened, as the man has never received any threats or had any problems with anyone.
“We ask the authorities that the crime does not go unpunished, that they help us clear it up, because we really don’t know why they killed him. We want them to tell us exactly what happened, because nothing came out of the car was stolen and he alone. They took his mobile phone. It’s something very strange,” he concluded.
