En lo que atañe específicamente a los casos de muerte de las personas privadas de la libertad XXX en una UTE del Establecimiento de Mediana Seguridad de XXX por el delito de Homicidio en calidad de Víctima y XXX en una UTE del Complejo Penitenciario y Carcelario de XXX por el delito de Homicidio en calidad de Víctima es pertinente informar que, frente al caso del señor XXX, cursa una demanda contenciosa administrativa

This is from Colombia. Could it simply mean that they were convicted of homicide rather than attempted homicide? I've tried to research this further but cannot find any information on what they had been charged with.

(Col.) own homicide as a victim; self-homicide qua victim


Explanation:
for instance, as a prisoner in custody > 'one of the inmates being referred to committed suicide and the other froze to death in a punishment cell.'

> and the delito: the criminal offens/ce being the prison guards' (criminally negligent) omission or dereliction of duty, so accused of *constructive manslaughter*.

The refs. to 'los casos de muerte de las personas privadas de la libertad (persons in custody)' triggering una demanda contenciosa administrativa leads me inductively to an administrative review or appeal process directed against prison guards accused of 'culpable manslaughter' cf. in Taña D.'s quote: no se encontró caso disciplinario.






Example sentence(s):
  • Involuntary manslaughter occurs when an unlawful and dangerous, or grossly negligent act or omission causes someone else’s death.

My thinking is that it is some form of self defense theory. Is there anything in your text to suggest self-defense (due to domestic violence, or other cause?)
