The former manager of Venezuelan rapper Canserbero has confessed to killing him

On Tuesday, December 26, a giant turning point occurred in the case of the death of the Venezuelan musician, activist and rapper Canserberoone of the most prolific voices in Latin American independent music, found dead under strange circumstances on January 20, 2015.

The Venezuelan Prosecutor’s Office has finally established that Natalia Améstica, Canserbero’s former manager, killed the rapper and his friend Carlos Molnar, after drugging them with the help of his brother.

Améstica released a video statement confessing to the crime and providing details of the incident.

“He – a relative of his – arrived at 11pm, accompanied by three Sebin officials, whose names I don’t know. They’ve finished setting up the scene to be a murder or suicide. This means that they finish stabbing Carlos, my brother Guillermo stabs him four times, the SEBIN agents do the rest,” he says in the report.

“They take Canserbero’s body to the kitchen, they take off his flannel, they hit him with a pipe in the face, it’s Guillermo who does it, my brother, and then they explain to us what we have to do, which one is throwing him out the window to finish the scene of the ‘murder-suicide,’ he added.

“My brother leaves the house because he cannot be present at the scene, I change, I make the scene that was at that moment, I ask the neighbors for help, and at the same time the CICPC arrives, standing at attention with my brother, and my brother offers them 10 thousand dollars to finish cleaning up the scene that the SEBIN officials had already left ready,” he continued.

“This meant that they forced me to step on the blood that was on the floor and leave footprints towards the window. Then I fled to Chile, terrified, thinking that eventually the truth would be known. In March the Ombudsman’s Office reopened the case, they called me, but I went with the certainty that both the Prosecutor’s Office and the CICPC had said that it was a murder-suicide. This is why I return to make the relevant statements for the reopening of the case”, he concluded.
