A Venezuelan migrant murdered in the Colombian city of Cali (south-west) ends nine days of funeral service this week for the will of his family and a religious community, who are waiting for his "resurrection" after receiving a message.
César Alexis Blanco, 20, who had emigrated two days earlier because of the economic and political crisis in his country, received several shots on December 10 in Puerta del Sol, a popular district of Cali. have not yet been clarified.
In principle, his relatives had the intention of burying him as soon as the body was given to them, but the faith congregation to which they belonged badured that he had received a message that had led them to change their plans.
"God commanded us to bring the body and be veiled here (in the house), so God told us that he would do something bigger: raise the boy and glorify him here in Puerta del Sol, "said Julio Blanco, father of the victim, to AFP.
Blanco works as a pastor at La Cueva de Adulam, an evangelical community of 14 people to which his son also belonged.
The prolonged wake, which ends this Wednesday nine days, forced the authorities to respond to complaints from neighbors. In the Christian tradition, a body is buried on average after a day and a half of awakening.
"The body does not stink because it's well repaired, but the bacteria leave the body of this boy", complained Luz Morán, a resident of the Puerta district del Sol.
According to Cali's State Secretary for Health, Nelson Sinisterra, Colombian legislation "does not set a maximum time limit" for burying or cremating a corpse, although in this case the remains have been prepared by a funeral home to be kept for 48 hours.
Faced with the family's refusal to bury him, the head told AFP that they would make a new visit to the site to try to convince relatives to "make the decision to so that we can bury the corpse ".
