According to eyewitnesses, relatives of Bobby Velasquez were waiting outside of the court house to see Velasquez who made his second appearance in front of the judge of instruction for pretrial detention.
Eyewitnesses and those involved in the commotion said an aunt of the victim was at the scene with a placard that reads "Stop the Abuse, R.V is 140% guilty". While relatives of Velasquez said the victim's aunt was insulting the relatives of Velasquez.
They said one of Velasquez sisters and niece approached the victim's aunt and told her that the matter is a family matter and both the suspect and victim are relatives and that she should allow the judicial system to take its course. However, tension flared as the two sets of relatives began arguing.
In the meantime, the judge of instruction has suspended the pretrial detention of Bobby Velasquez. His lawyer Jairo Bloem said his client was released about 6 pm on Friday afternoon. Bloem said the investigation of the case will continue.
SMN News will bring you a more in-depth story of this case on Monday.
