Prosecutors Postpone Edita Guerrero Hearing After Family Appears Under Court Order

The delay extends a case that hinges on sworn accounts from the singer’s closest relatives.

Overview

  • After Yrma Guerrero, her brother Leodán and their parents logged in as summoned, the Public Ministry asked to reschedule the session into three hearings.
  • A Piura court had ordered conducción por grado o fuerza, a police‑enforced transfer, because the family missed repeated calls to testify.
  • The judges warned that if they skip new dates, the court could exclude their statements from the case record.
  • The session was set for Tuesday as a virtual hearing, and judicial police were told to find witnesses through RENIEC‑listed addresses or their lawyers.
  • The case targets Paul Olórtiga, the widower, for alleged serious assault, parricide and femicide tied to Guerrero’s 2014 death that was first reported as an aneurysm.
