For the family member, no financial amount offered will be enough to ease the pain they have felt since September 13, 2021, when their daughter died, after being hit by a truck, whose driver was driving in a state of intoxication.
What I want is for that man to pay for what he did and not go free as always happens in this country
“They believe that they killed an animal and want to give any weight,” says the young woman’s father, who has refused to accept the conditions that the insurer exposes to renounce the process against Enrique Vives.
He insists that the only thing that would give him peace of mind is to be certain that justice was done for the death of these young people who were just beginning their lives.
“What I want is for that man to pay for what he did and not go free as always happens in this country,” said De Lima.

No agreements with survivor
EL TIEMPO also learned that, in the case of the minor under 14, the only survivor of the accident, an economic agreement has not been reached either for the lack of some documents and pending procedures.
To establish the amount that this family will receive for compensation, a report from the labor medical board on the state of physical and psychological health of the adolescent is required.
It should be noted that the families of Camila and Eleonir Romero, María Camina Martínez, Juan Diego Alzate and Rafaela Petit, did make arrangements with the insurer of the businessman’s vehicle and, in addition to agreeing to withdraw the criminal action against Enrique Vives, they also asked the Prosecutor’s Office to relax the conduct for which he will be prosecuted in the process against him.
The lawyer Rodrigo Martínez, representative of two of the victims, clarified that although the relatives desist from their participation in the case, the Prosecutor’s Office as an autonomous body may continue your research and accusation for the crimes that it considers pertinent.
In fact, the Prosecutor’s Office stated that it has not been notified of any agreement between the representatives of the victims and the defendant. In this way, the accusing entity continues with its theory of the case.
