The man claimed he never even entered the artist's home, as the construction job he was hired for was outside the residence. " You could hear Francisco's screams as they tortured him because they tied him to a metal beam on a column in the house. They tortured him there for a long time . Then they took me and put me there too, where they all grabbed me (...) and I was conscious even when they were putting a hose in my mouth ," said Elder, the other person who reported the artist's father.

According to the prosecutor in the case, the alleged kidnapping and torture of the men occurred on May 8, 2023, and Rendón's father, who did not accept the charges , has been under house arrest due to his age and health status since last Saturday when he was captured in the city of Cali, capital of the department of Valle del Cauca (southwest).

Five other people are also on trial in this case. Antioquia Police Commander Colonel Giovanni Puentes told the Rendón family after the robbery that the two assaulted workers were not suspected of the theft, according to El Tiempo on Tuesday. So far, neither the artist nor her family have commented on what happened, and Rendón's trial is moving forward .
