A trumpeter has died after being badly beaten during a concert he was giving in a cathedral near Buenos Aires, attacked by parents from a preschool where he had allegedly molested children, a priest said Monday.<\/p>\n
Marcelo Fabian Pecollo, a music teacher and trumpeter with the Moron city orchestra, was sentenced in 2010 to 30 years in prison for molesting five preschool children. He was freed in 2014 after a sentence reduction.<\/p>\n
The attack took place on October 30 at the cathedral in Moron, a Buenos Aires suburb.<\/p>\n
The group of parents barged into the cathedral yelling: “There is a pedophile and a rapist in the church and he is playing in this orchestra.”<\/p>\n
Pecollo, 42, tried to get away but the group caught up with him and beat him, including one parent who hit the man with his own trumpet, according to witnesses.<\/p>\n
“When I arrived, those people were leaving,” priest Jorge Oesterheld told local media. “He was in a very, very bad way, until the police and ambulance arrived. He was in a coma and died on Friday.”<\/p>\n
The priest criticised the attackers.<\/p>\n
“They say they took justice into their own hands, but it was revenge, it was murder.”<\/p>\n
Pecollo was arrested in 2007 after a mother complained that her four-year-old child had been abused. Six other cases later came to light.<\/p>\n
The court recognised five of the seven cases for trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
