The shrink served 5 years of a 12-year sentence for the murder.

    While strangling him, Poggi mocked and insulted Díaz Balbín, telling him that he would never hurt anyone anymore because he [Poggi] was going to kill him.

      It’s actually crazy that you call that a hero and many people seem to agree with you. He was already apprehended and no danger to anyone anymore. You especially left out in your quote that the psychologist forced him to get naked and got naked himself before the strangling. The psychologist is not much better than the serial killer imo.

        He was already apprehended and no danger to anyone anymore.

        So it’s okay to commit crimes if you call “Time Out!” By the time the police show up?

        He was already apprehended and no danger to anyone anymore.

        The Psychologist needed to force a comfession out of him to imprison him, and he couldn’t. The killer had been released once before, prematurely, and was taking advantage of a weak and underdeveloped judicial system.

      Since he never confessed and they didn’t have enough evidence to prove he’d murdered anyone other than the original 3 he’d served his time for, I think he should be called an “alleged” serial killer. The article even mentions other murders while he was jailed, and possible SS tactics during interrogation. Poggi’s starting to look like just another bad cop to me.

      Are we 100% sure of Poggi’s whereabouts during the murders? Strangling your patsy and getting a light sentence would be a nifty tactic…

      Once alone, Poggi ordered Díaz Balbín to undress, and he got naked too. According to reports, Poggi wanted to provoke Díaz Balbín in order to prove that he was a [sexual deviant]

      Okaaaaaaay…

        It’s pretty confusing but this didn’t actually happen, the truth is actually weirder. After the psychologist was released from prison he starred in a movie about himself about the murder, but it’s a sexualized version of the event itself. Somehow that crept into the Wikipedia article of the serial killer as truth.

        I’m not making this shit up lmao
