Among the keys that helped to reconstruct the context in which the murder of Lucio Dupuy, are the drawings that the 5-year-old boy made in his homework folder of Garden No. 7 of Santa Rosa where he attended And it is that based on an analysis of them, it was possible to conclude that Lucio used the drawings to express the mistreatment to which he was subjected by his mother, Magdalena Esposito Valenti (25), and the couple of the same Abigail Paez (28) both accused of the crime.
During the investigation, the illustrations caught the attention of the expert Lorraine Roger, who at the end of last year, detailed some findings that emerged from their analysis. The specialist confirmed that Lucio manifested his situation through his strokes and colors: the faces in Lucio’s drawings lacked eyes, a sign of a family background that the young man “did not want to see, or that they made him see and did not want to see.” , explained the psychologist who participated in the case that shocked The Pampa.
The other data that observation throws on the drawings is that they lack legs. According to Roggero, this is a sign of the “violations he suffered for a long time.” Roggero also referred to the psychological profile of Esposito and Páez. “They considered Lucio an obstacle in the relationship, they did not want to be mothers, they have traits of perversity and they reject men,” he said, adding that both “are imputable and that they understand the criminality of their acts.”
“Through the drawing, the boy or girl expresses whether they were sexually abused, verbally abused or physically abused, as in the case of Lucio Dupuy or lack of affection, the drawings show emotions and explain family relationships and their feelings. Boys sometimes cannot express their emotions in any other way, the easiest way is drawing. From the age of 3 they can scribble if you give them a pencil. It is a way of expression”, explains Celia Antoniniclinical psychologist and writer.
On February 2, it is expected that the guilty of the defendants will be ruled, and within a period of fifteen days from that date, it will be known what is the sentence that fits them. The prosecutors in the case accuse them of triple qualified homicide for the link, for the cruelty and for treachery in a real contest with seriously outrageous sexual abuse.
