La última vez que Humberto Orrala vio con vida a la segunda de sus seis hijos, Peggi Lorena Orrala Cedeño, de 44 años, fue cuatro días antes de que supuestamente la hallaran guindada de una hamaca en la habitación del inmueble que compartía con su conviviente. Esto en callejón García Goyena y Calle 14, en el suroeste de Guayaquil.
And although it was less than an hour the time they shared together, these minutes were enough for Humberto to realize that a penalty seized Lorenita, as he affectionately called his daughter.
"he told me that he was sad, that he was not feeling well because he had problems with his partner. He said, 'Daddy, give me the blessing,' it was the last time we saw each other. On Saturday afternoon, they called me to tell me that she was dead, that she had hanged herself, I Don't think she did, for me she was killed and they wanted to pass him off as a suicide. We suspect his partner, "the parent said.
His palette is probably not far from reality. The autopsy performed yesterday morning on Lorraine's body revealed that the cause of her death was due to asphyxiation by strangulation. "in addition, his body showed signs of violence. My sister's cohabitant is called iter Hurtado Casillas, "said Rodolfo Orrala, the victim's brother.
The young man reported that at 15: 00 on Saturday they received a phone call telling him to go urgently to the house where Lorraine lived because she had taken her life with a hammock. When they arrived at the house, his body was on the bed and in his underwear.
179 femicides have been registered in Ecuador during 2021, Guayas is the province with the most cases.
"my sister's partner was no longer in the house. He allegedly put her down and put her on the bed and then went out to get an ambulance, that's what her family told us. However, he did not return home and that led us to suspect that something had been done to my sister and the autopsy confirmed it and for now we are asking for justice, "said the consanguine.
Rodolfo told that Lorraine and Iter had a sentimental relationship for four years and that she had three children from a previous relationship.
Yesterday a team from this Diario approached the building where the body of the Guayaquileña was found. The house was closed. Neighbors said that since Saturday night the people who lived there have not returned.
