The lawyers want to demonstrate that there was no premeditation. To do this, they shared some photographs in which you can see various wounds on the body of the chef, who had allegedly defended himself from a sexual assault by the victim, thus not being an intentional crime. “There has been an attempted sexual assault, he defended himself and it resulted in the death of the victim,” Balfagón said.
