The father of 15-year old Cielo, who had both her arms amputated by an attacker, said that he feels destroyed as even after almost a year after the event, the man only known as Haitian national named Jeffrey Cecilí still has not been arrested. Fausto Sena complained that he has not had any reply from the authorities even though Jeffrey is in the country and posting on social media.
In addition, at a press conference he said that he has had 20 voice messages from Cecilí, mocking the fact that he has not been arrested. “I feel devastated because on the 17th of this month it will be a year, and I have had no response from the Police. I am talking like a father in pain because I have seen how other cases have been resolved. I have 20 voice notes from that individual and it is not possible that I have located these and the authorities have not,” he complained.
Cielo was attacked in Pedro Brand on 17 May 2017, when she left with a group of friends to go the river. Jeffrey Cecilí then appeared and without speaking attacked her with a machete, leaving her for dead. Media reports said the attack was because the girl did not want to have sex with him.
