Calgary police now say they've spoken with Allan and Carolina Perdomo

Calgary police now say they have been in contact with Allan Perdomo Lopez and Carolina Perdomo, two "people of interest" in the 2015 homicide of five-year-old Eneas Emilio Perdomo.

Over the weekend, the couple's defence lawyers argued their clients were facing a "trial by media" after police put out a press release on July 14 asking for the public's help in locating the Perdomos.

The lawyers said they had already been in contact with police and made agreements for the Perdomos to turn themselves in before the press release went out.

The latest release from police, sent at 1 p.m. on Monday,doesn't address that claim, but said investigators spoke to the couple on July 15, the day after the initial release was sent to media and widely reported.

'People are innocent until proven guilty'

The lawyers representing the Perdomos said their clients were released without charges after that interview and that the couple was harassed on their C-Train ride home by people who had seen their photos in the media.

They argued the police should have updated the initial press release sooner, or never put it out in the first place.

"It's a bit frustrating, because first of all in this country at least, people are innocent until proven guilty and it seems to us, at least at this juncture, that they're doing a trial by media," said Carolina's lawyer Brendan Miller.

Eneaswas taken to hospital July 10, 2015 with injuries family members said were from numerous accidents.He died one week later.
