Chronicle od a Death Foretold Perspective of Clotilde Armenta

Clotilde Armenta is an important source in the crime. Since her shop was the only one open that early in the morning the twins looked for Santiago there hoping that he would show up sooner or later. Clotilde gave them cane liquor. She saw them wait for Santiago and saw the butcher knives. The twins also confessed to her that they were going to kill Santiago. Clotilde warned her husband about the events in thier shop but her husband brushed it off. She then returned to the store where she saw Officer Leandro Pornoy speaking to the twins. Clotilde then saw Colonel Aponte take the knives away and send the twins home. A while later she saw the twins come back with different knives. Cleotilde then gives the twins a bottle of rotgut rum to ge them drunk.

It is clear that clotilde told her perspective of the crime to the narrator because she is qouted saying so. (pgs 53-63) I feel like this source, for the most part, could be trusted but then again the concept of memory is questioned in the book. The narrator himself has to search in other peoples memories to construct his own memory of the crime.
