López Awad and Pérez Alveal recently graduated as journalists from Adolfo Ibáñez University, and part of that work evolved into Carmelo: Killing the Same Man Twice (Ceibo Editions, 2023). This text is a revised and edited version of the speech the authors gave at the ceremony where they received the "José Carrasco Tapia Freedom of Expression Award" for the best book of the year, granted by the School of Journalism at the University of Chile. According to the jury, López and Pérez's book stands out "for the quality of its journalistic investigation, the use of a diversity of sources, the high regard for structure, the narrative quality of the text, and its challenge to justice and power on such fundamental issues as human rights."
