According to Corporal Jennifer Espora, the owner of the factory and Junco’s co-worker stated that he was working alone the night of the occurrence of the incident and he was assigned to do packaging of the products. He was not at all tasked to handle any of the machines in the factory.

“It is possible that he was curious with the other machines so he was looking around the other stations.”

According to the reports, Junco’s right arm accidentally got caught in the machine. Gruesomely, the machine was suddenly switched on and it continued to drag the victim inside it.
