Fernando Candia, 30, and Felipe Osiadacz, 27, could face the death penalty in August after they were charged with murder, the La Nación newspaper reported.
Fernando and Felipe decided to spend a vacation in Malaysia. On the day of their arrival, a homeless man who was supposedly "under the influence of drugs" began to follow them to the entrance of the hostel where they were staying and insisted that they give him money. The young people asked the receptionist of his residence to call the police, however the man became violent and in self-defense the travelers immobilized him "without any intention of causing harm", to his misfortune, on the spot, the man suffered cardiac arrest and died.
After almost ten months after the incident, and Fernando and Felipe have remained in Sungai Buloh prison, they will face a trial in August. According to information in the newspaper, during their stay in the prison, the youths have allegedly lost weight and have lived under extremely precarious conditions. “Despite the strictness of the prison regime, they trust that they have not committed any homicide and hope to return to their country. We expect the same, "said Juan Carlos Manríquez newspaper, the travelers' lawyer, who explained that his strategy will be to establish that the death of the indigent was due to recklessness in order to obtain a lesser sentence. "All actions based on respect, dignity and recognition of the [Malaysian] authorities are being carried out, given that this is an event that occurred in their territory."
According to Manríquez, the crime of homicide is heavily punished in the Asian country. "Our children are innocent of the charge against them. This was nothing more than a terrible accident that affected two young people who were only going to enjoy their vacations, "said their parents in an interview for La Nación.
