Prosecutors in Los Ríos formalized charges against three children and an ex-son-in-law of Julia Chuñil for her alleged homicide on November 8, 2024. The ex-son-in-law's confession reconstructed the crime, which stemmed from an attempted robbery of an elderly man. Prosecutor Tatiana Esquivel also accused the children of fabricating the story of the dog Cholito to evoke emotion.
