A cellphone audio recording revealed a lawyer's frantic yells for help during a fight with her husband cop before he strangled her in his police academy dormitory room and then buried her body in a ditch.
María Bernal, 34, used her cellphone to record the encounter with lieutenant Germán Cáceres, 29, at the police school in Quito, Ecuador, the early morning of September 11, 2022.
According to an excerpt from the recording that was obtained by Ecuadoran newspaper El Universo, the two-hour audio disclosed that Bernal screamed for help ten times while Cáceres choked her before the recording went quiet.
A lawyer for the family told the newspaper that the incident was sparked by argument the couple had after Bernal arrived at the police academy and confronted Cáceres for reportedly under the influence of alcohol and not taking care of his job as an instructor at the school.
