Chile court detains neighbor in 2008 Mariana Sepúlveda murder due to reduced cognitive capacity

A Santiago court ordered provisional detention for Ghislain Quiroz Carrizo, who confessed to the 2008 killing and burial of Mariana Sepúlveda in Conchalí, citing his reduced cognitive capacity. The measure reflects judicial handling of a confession from a suspect with cognitive limitations, though details on trial proceedings remain unclear. This is a notable development in a long-standing cold case, but its broader significance is limited to the justice system.
