Overview
- The teenager, identified by initials E. J.C. B., was detained by municipal Serenazgo and held at the Comisaría de Manchay for about 48 hours before being found unconscious and later pronounced dead at a nearby health center.
- The Tercera Fiscalía Provincial Penal Corporativa de Lurín opened a preliminary investigation for presumed homicide and assigned Depincri La Molina to remove the body and collect forensic evidence and testimony.
- Family members say they were never officially notified of the detention, found the youth with visible injuries and torn clothing, and point to a questioned 'constancia de buen trato' that lacked the minor’s signature.
- The Defensoría del Pueblo and the Mecanismo Nacional de Prevención de la Tortura inspected the comisaría cell to monitor for torture or maltreatment while authorities prepare necropsy results and security-camera analysis.
- Investigators will use the necropsy, camera footage and police testimonies to determine cause and responsibility; until those diligences conclude the official cause of death and any criminal charges remain undetermined.
