According to the victim’s cousin, she signaled to Brisa to return, since she did not know Morales, but the young woman responded with a gesture that everything was fine and left with the young man.
The same relative and a friend assured this morning to different media – and had previously told the Justice – that the young woman had drunk alcohol and consumed pills that had been placed in her glass.
