New twist in Biedma case: 'Scare first, then kill her with Colombian hitmen'
Cuatro journalist quotes Los Rochos on the Biedma case: 'Scare first, then kill her with Colombian hitmen they know.' We explain the context.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
A Cuatro exclusive reports testimony from Los Rochos, who claim that the victim in the Biedma case was first given a scare and then killed by Colombian hitmen. It is an accusation attributed to those individuals, not a proven fact.
The phrase is short and loaded. "Scare first, then kill her with Colombian hitmen they know." That is how a voice attributed to Los Rochos summarizes what, according to their version, peine in the Biedma case. The network **Cuatro** aired the testimony on its program **En boca de todos**, hosted by **Nacho Abad**, and presented it as an exclusive.
## What was said and who said it
The content comes through two channels. On the one hand, the program labels it as an exclusive. On the other, the quote is attributed to Los Rochos, a name that appears in the broadcast itself. The phrase describes two steps: a prior scare and a subsequent homicide using Colombian hitmen. It is a serious accusation, made by those individuals, not a sentence or an official confirmation.
## Why the framing matters
When a media outlet presents testimony as an exclusive, its value lies in its novelty, not in automatic veracity. The network does not say the facts are true: it says those people are telling it. The difference matters. A partisan account can guide an investigation, but it does not replace it. And the Biedma case remains a judicial matter.
## What we still don't know
The material contains no data on dates, arrests, convictions, or the identities of the alleged hitmen. Nor is there any police or judicial confirmation of the version. The only source is the testimony broadcast by **Cuatro**. Any conclusion about guilt goes beyond what that testimony allows us to assert.
## A case with media noise
The Biedma case accumulates versions and names on television and social media. That does not make it a resolved case. Justice works with evidence, not with testimony given on a TV set. Until there is a final ruling, the presumption of innocence remains in force for any person accused.
