Police officers linked to teen's death in Manchay; medical report reveals multiple bruises

An investigation into the death of a 17-year-old inside the Manchay police station is intensifying, with new details emerging about the circumstances surrounding his demise. The National Police maintain that the minor died from mechanical asphyxiation, consistent with strangulation. However, documents have surfaced indicating the teenager sustained various injuries to his body hours before his death.

The case gained significant attention following the release of the names of police officers allegedly involved during the adolescent's time at the station. A legal medical certificate, prepared by specialists from the Institute of Legal Medicine, documented the presence of several hematomas. The report suggests these injuries were caused by a blunt object.

According to the document issued on June 13, the adolescent was examined while in police custody. The examination revealed five hematomas on different parts of his body, including his left forearm, thighs, and one leg. The report concluded that the injuries resulted from a blunt instrument and indicated a four-day medical-legal incapacity, barring complications. This certificate has become crucial evidence, as it was issued just hours before the minor's death was reported at the Manchay station.
