The Uruguayan prosecutor claims to have found one of Lola Chomnalez's murderers

More than four years after the murder of teenage girl Lola Chomnalez in the seaside resort of Valizas, Uruguay, the fifth prosecutor who has dealt with the case seems to have found a strong clue to catch the murderers. Tonight, the Rocha County Court ruled it was accepting the presentation made by the prosecutor Jorge Vaz, accused of co-authoring a "particularly aggravated homicide", one of the men who had already been designated as suspect in another investigation,

For prosecutor Vaz, there is no doubt that the changarin identified as Ángel Moreira is one of the perpetrators of the crime. Although the DNA of the suspect known by the pseudonym of El Cachila does not match the DNA fingerprints found in the backpack of the murdered girl, aged 15, the testimony of Attorney General Moreira places him on the crime scene .

The 29-year-old man in December 2014, who worked as a shawl in the Uruguayan bathing area, admitted meeting Lola on the beach while walking alone in Aguas Dulces. The prosecutor considers illogical the chain of events related to Moreira and asked Judge Rossana Ortega to ratify the imputation and to keep the suspect in pre-trial detention. The magistrate was ready at the end of this edition to resolve this request.

"The meeting of Mr. with L. was expressly recognized by the same public, when, in 1571, he declared:" I was with her, she was walking along the beach, I was going to Valizas and she was going on the other side. I came from Aguas Dulces. "So Mr. – in his own words – would have offered L. some" stamps "that he was selling." We crossed each other and I gave her the stamp, I said to her: hello crumb (sic) I offer you a small stamp, and she asked me what it was and I showed it to her ". So, at one point, Mr. and his mates forced L. to leave the beach towards the wooded area behind the dunes, probably for badual motives, "said the prosecutor to impute the known man. El Cachila.

In 2015, Moreira had been compromised in the case by an anonymous tip that indicated that he had urgently left his home in a nearby community of Sweet Waters, due to a serious problem that had occurred. was posed with a girl. Prosecutor Vaz recalled this situation in his presentation.

Moreira was released at that time when it was discovered that her DNA did not match that found in Lola's business. The prosecutor gives an explanation to this situation: "Although the DNA produced within the time limit given to M. does not coincide with that found in the briefcase and in the DNI of L., this is explained by the fact that Mr. did not check the backpack But this circumstance does not exclude him from the scene because he was not the only participant of the crime according to the forensic and criminalistic badyzes ".

The victim's family was hopeful in solving the case as soon as the new prosecutor, who resumed the investigation this year, arrived. The parents of Lola, Adriana Belmonte and Diego Chomnalez and their lawyer, Juan Raúl Williman. they met the prosecutor Vaz on the 7th of the present and they brought him a document prepared by a team of Argentine researchers. The prosecutor promised at this meeting that he would move forward with new lines of work. A few days later, the charges against Moreira arrived.

"The precision with which Mr. describes the whereabouts of L.'s body is amazing," said the prosecutor, requesting that the main suspect of the murder, a man with a history of gender-based violence, be kept in prison.
