Overview
- The 17-year-old was detained on June 13 and was found gravely injured inside the Comisaría de Manchay on June 14 before dying after being taken to a health center.
- The Instituto de Medicina Legal issued a necropsy that lists the cause of death as mechanical asphyxia by hanging while the victim's family rejects the police account and alleges mistreatment in custody.
- The Fiscalía Superior de Lima Sur ordered the case moved to the Segunda Fiscalía Supraprovincial Corporativa Especializada en Derechos Humanos y contra el Terrorismo, which will take over investigative steps and receive files from the Tercera Fiscalía de Lurín.
- Interior Minister José Zapata said six officers from the Manchay station were temporarily removed from duty and that administrative and potential criminal proceedings will proceed as investigators gather evidence.
- Legal groups and the victim's family are demanding a transparent and exhaustive probe into detention conditions and alleged abuse, a process that could affect police accountability and procedural safeguards for deaths in custody.
