On Saturday, the wake for María Victoria Reyes, an inspector at the Obispo Silva Lezaeta Institute in Calama who was murdered by an 18-year-old student, took place. The attacker, Hernán Meneses Leal, is charged with homicide and four counts of attempted homicide after also injuring another staff member and three students with a sharp weapon. During the funeral ceremony, the family of the deceased inspector called for justice for her death.
"May the person who caused this murder pay," said her sister, Catalina Reyes. "Students called her a heroine" Carolina Collado, the 59-year-old inspector's daughter, stated, "My mom was very good, with a very noble heart, she loved her children very much. She enjoyed her work a lot, loved the children, and the children loved her very much too.
" "She always gave them a lot of love and did the same with us. She was always a very caring mother, very good, very attentive to ensure we were always well," she added. On the other hand, her son, Maximiliano Delgado, asserted that "her students called her a heroine because she lovingly defended them.
" "The school had become more dangerous" Her daughter Carolina also recounted that the inspector "mentioned that the school had become a bit more dangerous. " "There was a different, more aggressive behavior seen in the youth... She tried to separate a fight and ended up getting hit," she said.
Maximiliano Delgado called for justice, "regardless of whether the boy (the attacker) had psychological problems. The issue of mental health is also a national issue, but unfortunately, one knows the good and bad things he did, so I hope, with all my heart, that he has a hard time.
