Informe Especial: "Errores que cobran vidas: Para que no haya otra Ámbar más" | 24 Horas TVN Chile

Only then would they achieve that the sentence was not qualified homicide but simple homicide and Bustamante would be freed from life imprisonment with absolute precision and before an expectant public hugo bustamante said and did the right thing, well, I've done it, said the prosecutor, certainly I was going to arrest two people, two human beings, I told him, I confessed my crime, it was what doesn't let me sleep, we entered the interior knowing that Bustamante was not there, we proceeded to register the entries in search of Veronica here in In this specific place, there was disturbed earth.

We moved it to the excavation site and there he immediately told us not to continue searching because I have my wife buried. I walk away from her, cold. I say, at that time, she must have been about 22. There is a service, I got ice. through the mind from the forehead and the back that I tell you that in a clear sense until that day Bustamante had put the corpses of Verónica and her son in a metal jar with a capacity of 200 liters who were at the site of the event until today. They forget it and it was impressive to see the bodies hugging in the middle, first Veronica and then Eugenio, and to be able to introduce him because she was a little robust, she doesn't face each other face to face and they make them hug each other and he left if we are when I say that we are in the I put the child to bed from behind and from there I started through the neck I remember well with fer he liked this I don't remember you the police told him I tell him I don't remember everything I said well but I busted you also put a plastic sheet on his head true correct that she did it because it's okay to think that it was live true no and I thought it's from a child's day and from her mouth and that's why we have a cloth in her mouth with a handkerchief but if she's still bleeding now it's been a stretch like this I believe in you and if that's not the case but he put a cloth it reminds you of having tied the neck of the only victim who is the only one no I don't remember I have done it but when later he has the drums when between the drums it is necessary cover and if you saw how they are despite the efforts of the defense the court determined that hugo bustamante understands what is good and what is bad that is fully accused psychiatrists and psychologists evaluated him then for two months among the expert reports they presented we find With this discovery already in 1992 when Bustamante was serving his first sentence of 5 years and one day for robbery of the place intended for the room and thefts, he was diagnosed with a psychopathic personality or Bustamante had been evaluated in 1992 at the hospital Philippe Pinel came from the court of German town crime but he came as a prisoner and at that moment he considered the psychopathic personality traits that he presented, what does psychopathic personality mean, not only incremental with carriers of a personality disorder who are very talkative people with a great facility for words and In addition, they are usually quite charming people, they are capable of quickly invoking and seducing their possible victims.

They have no capacity for guilt or remorse, so they harm, abuse, exploit their victims. Since then, some type of intervention could have been done that would perhaps have decreased the possibilities. of recidivism or even directly having avoided any of the homicides that became years later the first time it was for clinical purposes the first egg that was 27 once it came out due to seeing is a follow-up a permanent control the second time it was in the In 2005 he also arrived as a deputy for the double homicide project and there was also a diagnosis made if from now on the psychiatrist is categorical about what she considers should be done with people with psychopathy involved in violent crimes or of blood then the solution is that when psychopathic people commit acts they should have the maximum penalties and they should not be scared of prisons.

For example in England they serve their sentences in a prison but after their sentence ends they go to a forensic hospital also for Life, this is a complex issue and still under discussion, but if the experts agree on something, it is that people with a high risk of recidivism in blood crimes cannot be left to their own devices. The risks of recidivism can be reduced with this type of person. It is difficult to think. to see a personality change that will stop him from being a psychopath, what you can do is make that particular psychopath adapt more, ensure that he has a greater level of control over his behavior, there are psychological therapies supported by psychiatric therapies for that, if the court unanimously condemns the crusader Alberto Bustamante Pérez for the charge brought against him as the author of two crimes of simple homicide did not prove the speed and cruelty the defense strategy worked for the murder of Veronica and her eight-year-old son or Bustamante did not He was sentenced to life imprisonment but to 27 years in prison, that is, initially he was supposed to be imprisoned until the year 2032 but that did not happen.

I have memories when I was very young of visiting him in the Valparaíso prison. If you have seen the opposite of Hugo and it has happened almost He has been in prison all his life, he has been committing crimes since he was 20 years old. Hugo Bustamante's daughter does not show her face because she has had a bad time. There have been plenty of people who have mistreated her for carrying his last name during all these times that she was in prison. Let him really say that he became a work to reinsert them and he had psychiatric problems to bring him to perfection at that time on his psychological part I have no memories of having been released no no in all the years he was in prison hugo bustamante would not have received specialized intervention that tried to deconstruct his criminal thinking reduce the possibilities of recidivism that lack of directed work may be happening with a good part of the more than 46,000 inmates who are today in Chilean prisons.

We ask what happens, for example, in the national icon of prisons, the Santiago Sur preventive detention center, the former penitentiary, when A person enters a prison, an evaluation or a work plan is made, there is no intervention plan that is generated from the moment the subject enters, he looks at it, nothing, nothing. The specialized intervention is only for children who are close to the middle of the prison. time therefore soon in the end it will fulfill some benefit and very little because there are no more professionals if you ask me about a specialized mental health program there is nothing nothing and if a person enters he has already committed serious crimes for that group very There is no special part of the population, nor is there a psychiatric evaluation or admission treatment.

No, there may be many people who are currently applying for parole but who have never been in an intervention process. Unfortunately, it may be that many of them are not. in an intervention plan, how is it explained then that you, through a simple discussion, are led to this horrendous crime and I explain to myself how and at what moment it was that I became the person who did it, taking into account that I am another person and that he left precisely true to the murderer, whatever the person who committed these crimes wants to call him, aside and I begin to look from the outside at the horrible case then but it started because he reacted that way when he could easily the moment and the middle a few months after the double homicide and watching this episode of 'mea culpa' on national television was that Hugo Bustamante's daughter found out the details of the death of eight-year-old Verónica and Eugenio, with whom she shared many times since that viewing that they are more certain about dad looking for a lover then because when I go to easily I believe that I betrayed him again what is the rod of the system of possessing money why the murderer because he made her sell a house that is, you believe that finally the motive that makes them kill him is the money and If you want freedom, he could commit the same crime again.

We don't think. I've thought about it. He's also questioned me. He's also analyzed it and for sure I don't have the answer and he's sure he wouldn't commit it again. In other words, we're talking about a person who Mentally he is healthy, that is, they asked me if he was sorry and he evaded the question. I don't know if you realize, not even he himself was sure about not repeating what he did. I couldn't tell him, it's not impossible for him to come back. There was a situation that seemed to stop him. There is no answer that is completely unsafe.

I believe that all of this could have been avoided. Your father is qualified. He was reintegrated or in the process of reintegration to give him that freedom. It is the truth of a doubles before students. Now I believe that the most will be ready to leave. Psychologically, he was not, the people of Buenos Aires are worried. On the list of prisoners who received the benefit, there are some sentenced to life imprisonment for crimes of homicide. Hugo Bustamante at 11 years in prison at 27, according to his sentence and without having had specialized intervention despite Due to his early diagnosis, he was released along with 787 other resources.

The decision was made by the parole commission of the Court of Appeals of Valparaíso and these would have been their criteria and we were ordered to report only the background information related to the minimum time and conduct for this commission, the requirements were only those two. This is a decisive point for those who work inside the prisons and they made it clear before the constitutional accusation commission against the judge who presided over the instance that granted conditional freedom to Hugo Bustamante in general. In this type of crimes, as is also very common, sexual crimes are people who adapt very well to the penitentiary regime.

In general, they are always carrying out voice activities or are very accommodating in the activities that one requests from them, and they have a very adequate response. They have maintained very good behavior for years, there was no request or requirement from any party regarding the psychosocial dyn, work or health history in the school report, that information is known in the video, the psychosocial report that would not have been considered to decide the conditional release of hugo bustamante says verbatim in the box titled psychopathological elements traits of antisocial personality disorder has unproblematized and untreated drug use ah, we were the people, the professionals who evaluated bustamante pérez in that conditional release process in relation to conscience of crime did not leave at any time the possibility of repeating it again and although the data from recidivism studies show that people who are released on parole actually reoffend less, this was not the case of hugo bustamante, he was a councilor and did not publish a asks understand yes no and so we arrive at this fateful August with a hugo bustamante who had been free for four years and who rudely invited his neighbors to come by and look for a

mbar

cornejo in his house, his partner's daughter who was 16 years old and all The community of Villa Alemana is distressed because he had been missing for more than a week.

Hello, you both love nothing, not even the message that the amber marsh left in January.past prohibiting hugo bustamante's access to the weapons he shared with mother raised the eyebrows in both of them, there was no one from the gendarmerie prison system to follow up on him, several people showed up to sign and they only recently realized that he was not He had attended that he did not justify, so that will show that it is a totally vulnerable system and that there is no follow-up carried out properly. The only follow-up that Bustamante had was administrative and clearly deficient.

Let us not forget that although he was on parole, he was serving a sentence for the murder. of his ex-partner and her little son and that is how he was again accused by another possible a and if you don't think about it coldly and I was thin of reason and I didn't realize it because I entered the house at the first discovery that Pepe made and I introduced myself, I remember having helped hugo and denis put this house in order, but penn from the house, that is, what he did the most quickly so that dan could go to rest because my idea occurred to him that night to reassure you between quotes take the plastic but not too much the war could not stand it is the same and he tries to speak something in it asking and the truth is that yes several times I asked myself I told him please tell me the truth if you have anything to do with this tell me if he needs help but the truth is that only getting healed the only thing that clicked in my head was when dennis arrived at the home that he had already begged for pd and the / drunk and drugged he was babbling the truth he didn't even speak well I made him a sentence What marked me a lot is that you betrayed my laws.

I think it was as if alluding to the fact that Denis had already spoken on TV and there I began to have an object with Hugo Bustamante, who is detained in these minutes, unfortunately we must communicate that today we achieved the education of the corpse. I was there to really characterize her and I didn't realize I had a conversation with him at the time and he came in drunk that he didn't want to share he wanted me to leave people we have to talk the only thing he stammered was that he would ask for forgiveness for not to be the father that I deserved, that despite everything I had experienced, I was a grown-up woman and something like that in the two homicides of Verónica Vázquez and in a while, comparing with the case of the homicide of Ámbar, there are kinds of multitudes stabilization very similar to that of Verónica, no one knew anything about Verónica, ingenuity also means knowing the motive that mobilizes Bustamante, which is money, obtaining money in the case of Verónica, in the case of Ambar, the burial and it is the way to hide the bodies that We like the bodies in sealed containers and also put a cloth in the mouth so that the cowbells are inside the oral cavity in sealed containers and he also covered their mouths.

The retired police officer describes how the homicides committed by Bustamante at the age of 15 The difference is similar and of a cruelty that he does not prefer to detail and now with the background that we are receiving of crosses I dim to amber before entering it the culés obviously that those of blood because what it emits the most is the stench is in the blood very exact to regret Already then he was learning together where his long career in prison was practiced later when he had her submissive, Ámbar raped her for causing her greater harm, that is, to enjoy the submission of his victim, that is the reality, keeping in mind the time. lost that there was no specialized intervention there was no follow-up there was no accompaniment or control of hugo bustamante and the fatal consequences that the significance of the system of execution of sentences to which hugo bustamante was exposed during the 25 years that he has been serving his sentence could mean. in jail or on parole and below we show you a simple journalistic exercise that checks the system of paroles that is applied today as Paulina of people who resisted a test to measure the degree of psychopathy and point it has some kind of prohibition of approaching your victim and we also begin the search for possible solutions at the level of the flight to thank you for this, how you would have to do that within 30 days or within 60 days of entering the penal facility you have a adequate diagnosis and develops an individual intervention plan that this individual intervention plan must extend throughout their sentences, which requires a follow-up process precisely to reduce their risk of recidivism and what the evidence tells you is quite consistent is that this first year of admission is essential since last year there is a new law that establishes conditional release for convicts, it says that it is a benefit and not a right and the requirements to apply are made explicit, one of them is to have a psychosocial report like this things, we took a dozen files made by gendarmerie professionals with information on convicts who received conditional release after the new law came into force to a specialist.

We know that these do not bind the commissions that grant the benefit but that they should guide about the risk factors for recidivism without giving details about who these documents belong to. We capture your reactions as an expert in this area of ​​forensic psychology. We would like you to analyze the information regarding it and public information that was obtained by us through open systems. deficient information conflict resolution difficult to manage anger intimidating controller low motivation denies and minimizes in these interactions without further emotional commitment from an instrumental and gainful point of view let's now focus on the quality of these cards, whether or not they provide the necessary information to decide the conditional release considering an element as important as the possibility of recidivism, there is talk of a low awareness of the crime, that is not good, there was not enough work on the part of the entity that has to take care of the protection of the gendarmerie's prevention something more that attracts attention does not manage to position itself from empathy cold emotionally, the benefit of conditional release is not recommended as it is necessary to determine the intervention process after the application of instruments for measuring psychopathy that is being said in that sheet that does not recommend the benefit of conditional release in light of the background it seems this person is not ready within the psychological area so to speak to leave if in fact he can really be a danger a danger to himself also with that background special report reviewed the conditional releases delivered by The Supreme Court during 2019 and the first half of 2013 are cases in which the parole commissions denied the benefit and that decision was appealed.

In doing so, we detected relevant information, for example, from the 479 appeals that the Supreme Court reviewed in the first half of this year. year it granted 290 which means a ratio close to two conditional releases granted for every three amparo appeals presented we visited an interview with the highest court but the ministers of the second chamber of the supreme court preferred not to participate as it is combined of course I don't know how do something that does not really accept killing a person. From now on we are looking for people who are serving sentences for crimes of the greatest severity such as homicides or repeated rapes among others and who at the time generated alarm.

Number has some type of prohibition from approaching Your victim's self is not, we ask them of intervention they received in prison if they are aware of the damage they caused from today and they are serving their sentence under the benefit of parole, they are accompanied and monitored with you to measure the degree of psychopathy. and his responses and what we were able to record of the environment that surrounds us here on March 21, 1999 he was shooting from his apartment on Colom Street a few minutes before he had committed one of the most horrific crimes in recent years the doctor had gone up to the sixth floor of the building to murder three members of the family with the same weapon, an unexplained crime that restarted the entire country.

Ah, after 20 years in prison, he was able to apply for parole, today he is serving his sentence on the street and we are going to look for him and we are getting there We are going to the house to see if the address matches or not and if it is available, talk to us. The truth is that we have information that immediately surprises us. It is delivered by people who shared with the convicted person on parole who ask to protect the identity because they consider the person dangerous. that I knew now they do that series 'doctor where the doctor some bread with your son man man or sexually but aggressively the man wanted to hit him from her and not me I warned with the comments we insisted on the search for one of the recent beneficiaries with On parole we found him to hear from his mouth what type of intervention he received in prison and if it is controlled now that he is serving a sentence on the street as a patient but not 18 years old and still in relation to workshops of any kind for 8 years we move forward in the conversation and We ask you if today that you are serving your sentence, your conditional release is controlled by the prison system and not by some delegate.

Also you who are serving a sentence for a crime for a psychologist who demolished with her report the damage caused and showed no remorse, but of course horrifying how not to make it terrible to kill the person more than one thing a cold thing and they are always in that it was up does not reach humble does not reach the thieves to adopt a type style best evaluated for doctor in the psychosocial report carried out by the gendarmerie in this In a particular case that was handed over to the parole commission, it was explicitly stated that the benefit of parole is not recommended as it is necessary to determine the intervention process after the application of the psychopathy mediation instrument of clr who recognizes that he has problems audio control and self-medication I have friends who are psychiatrists and psychologists and the work what you say inside I did not have rehabilitation I participated in workshops that did not give it and outside how they did a psychiatric evaluation age despite the crime they were 30 psychology that within bodybuilding a the benefits to the Sunday and if not as a nation you too and before reviewing the case of the next convicted person who today has the benefit of parole we continue looking for alternative solutions that avoid regretting painful deaths again such as that of both effective responses that guarantee that once a convicted criminal has intervention that reduces his recidivism and that he is installed with benefits such as probation,

especial

ly in crimes that are so gray, sexual, they are the one controlled, the ideal alternative in my opinion would be to be able to have execution courts

especial

ly In the photo, let's say focused on controlling the execution of sentences, whether in a free environment, the closed system, or also in parole, according to the specialist, these courts could operate all year round and not only in two seasons, as the current parole commissions can be. exclusive competence to link with the gendarmerie to constantly visit the inmates and to know the conditions of the regime with respect to, for example, the disciplinary procedures of the benefits for penitentiaries and also of conditional release and in this discussion that is urgently put into practice promptly there is other proposals that are being considered in this case, it is proposed that the guarantee courts be the ones to assume the responsibility that the parole commissions have today, the convicted person is received his defender, the prosecutor, the Chilean gendarmerie delegate with the respective social psychological reports. and personal, which then gives the court high quality information and enough time to see the case.

Perhaps there is a greater chance that complex cases where there is a greater chance of repeating the crime could be seen more calmly and with a greater breadth of vision. In the courts of the entity, to see, the judges do not have a crystal ball, therefore it is impossible to know what is going to happen in the future, but I can tell you that to the extent that this information of higher quality is received, it will probably be The decision is called appropriate. You recognize the repeated rape, why not you? What you say is that you were not responsible for the rape.

You heard that you have already stood next to me, but I am going to have a minor if I didn't know it. He was wrong, humans, if you put the responsibility on him, the alcohol was practically when he was down. The effects of alcohol are also good, healthy and in good health, and the alcohol painted my night, he woke me up because we slept with one in one room, and you woke up, he woke me up. He said that basically it was a couple of times and always under the influence of alcohol, when you were around 15 years old, he doesn't say that all of that is a lie, he has always threatened me, he said that he was going to kill my mother, he was going to take me away. far from what you say that deep down you had no responsibility they raped her that she is pregnant at 15 and that girl was born and the next house no no because I had to invent a story everyone told me that I had to invent that What I had had was a lot and after that pregnancy and that watery water that you had because of a rape, he continued abusing you, yes he continues to threaten me that he would come, my daughter was no longer your mother, now she was your son, abuse of someone else that you know, my sister said that he had tried with her that he had always touched herI hit you, but let this report serve the purpose of what justice considers the victims.

It highlights that during this year you were going to participate in a specialized intervention for sexual offenders and that you would have been interested in that. They proposed those tests to you and when you achieved parole you were prisoner yes and they offered him that course while he was in prison yes but he was released so he never did it we do not deserve the entire judicial system, both extra-penitentiary and penitentiary, they did not act or acted deficiently and the intervention that hugo had within the system was null since who commits a crime with the same characteristics, previously opts for a benefit which is credited or given without taking into account who this person belonged to.

Unfortunately, in this crime against Amber, it is possible to perfect the grape method, we have a potential criminal, we have an enhanced psychopath. Amber's father's lawyer is blunt about the urgent changes that are required to guarantee that his daughter's story is not repeated. Now we have a control role, no one is summoned if they are absent or lose track of them. During the entire period that they are serving their sentence, no one does anything. This creates the need for delegates who have an active role and who have the powers to ensure that these conditional releases are met with the conditions that they have. establishes the norm and was convicted of rape and sexual abuse of a minor during the day with serving sentence in 2025 but he was released this year on parole.

Let's see if he can tell us his story and again, however, he will only sign anything else during this special report work we spoke with several parolees who carried out acts of blood or sexual crimes, none of them had more control than a monthly signature and although not all of them, a good part of them did not show a full understanding of the damage they caused, they feel regret for the abuse sexual nature of the young woman and what is it? I say one thing, I'll break your call in the year since then because he said he was 18 to her than to you because the most correct thing is to say that the girl was the one who convinced him that she was older. old therefore he does not recognize it violates him as I am going to recognize we did a review of the execution of the sentence that he has served during all these years there was bustamante and we found a chain of errors that are complicated there is today something concrete that has to do with specialized intervention inside the facilities or is that in another life, no, it is not another life, the fact of recognizing in the 2019 parole law that each applicant will have to have a psychosocial report is and the law itself indicates it guide on a person's risk factors but that is very good but you know that deep down this diagnosis and that intervention is only when you can effectively apply for the benefit of the resources today I could not deny that situation no They allow us to have a maximum quality intervention for the entire prison population for next year's budget in some money to intervene in what we are talking about and then not regret the violence or other amber for next year a new program that is implemented is precisely the case of the parole delegates are already up to the amount they do not exist in the week the undersecretary of justice refers to the gendarmerie officials who must be in charge from next March of developing and supervising individual intervention plans for those who have freedom conditional today we have a budget of almost a billion pesos to implement in the first stage 58 parole delegates today there are 6000 people a little more who are serving parole on the street those who are already serving will also be monitored by part of those delegates or not the week the undersecretary of justice refers to the gendarmerie officials who will have to be in charge starting next March of developing and supervising individual intervention plans for those who have parole today we have a budget of almost a billion pesos to implement in the first stage 58 parole delegates today there are 6000 people a little more who are serving parole on the street those who are already serving will also have follow-up by those delegates or not for the second stage that It is the year 2022, it is planned to hire another 60 delegates and then 18 parole delegates allow at a rate of approximately one delegate per 70 convicted to reach 8000.

We went to see what happens with the paroles that were given at the end of 2019 or this same year that the supreme court granted, we are already talking about noisy cases that have to do with tremendous homicides or repeated and very complicated sexual abuse and I want to read you some of the cases where in the files by the gendarmerie in the brilliant report In the end, it is said that the benefit of conditional release is not recommended since it is necessary to determine the intervention process after the application of the SLR ERE psychopathy mediation instrument.

This was not done, this person today does not have any type of control psychiatric or any other intervention and he was given conditional release are obviously jurisdictional decisions on which I, and especially in particular cases, cannot comment, but in fact we have modified the system so that it is based on these reports and if it is in Car we have as a society to take quick and urgent steps to renew our system of execution of sentences. We are working on the preparation of a bill on a system of execution of sentences now and from now until the end of this government that is until this is the The goal is to have it presented in the first half of next year to begin discussion.

This is not only a humanitarian issue of a moral duty that we have with people deprived of liberty and their conditions. This is a public security problem with adequate focused programs and with Obviously, trained personnel translates into something very important, which is the greater reintegration of people and that leads to lower recidivism rates and therefore lower crime. Ámbar Cornejo already died at the age of 16, who today is being investigated for his The murder had been psychiatrically diagnosed almost 30 years ago, it was known that it was dangerous and despite the fact that he spent many years in prison, he was not intervened.

Not only that, he was granted a benefit that allowed him to serve his sentence in freedom. This is undoubtedly another story of a crime. announced because once on the street no one followed up or controlled hugo bustamante so that we do not regret even one more in the name of ambar rabbit llano and in the name of so many others who run the risk of suffering the unspeakable, let's talk seriously and make the changes
