[2] In the night of June 7, 1957 Roldán, who was in a state of heavy inebriation, had dinner with his elderly parents and some of his brothers at the Los Copihues iron mine camp.

[2] Reportedly the murders were followed by acts of necrophilia with Díaz' corpse and attempted arson to erase evidence by setting fire to a mattress[2] before escaping into a nearby forest.

[8][3] Later on, he admitted that alcoholism played a part, along with detailing how he felt an urge to abuse Díaz corpse after he saw that she wasn't wearing underwear at the time of her death.

However, then-President Carlos Ibáñez del Campo eventually got involved in the case, granting clemency to Roldán, whose sentence was then reduced to life imprisonment.

[2] José Misael Roldán spent the rest of his life in prison without any parole benefits, where he eventually passed away.
