The bodies of Morena Verdi and Brenda del Castillo, two 20 -year -old cousins, and Lara Gutiérrez, 15, were found on September 24, buried near a house in the south of Buenos Aires, five days after they disappeared.
According to Provincial Security Minister Javier Alonso, the young women thought they would attend a party, but before they were killed, they were subjected to a torture session that was lived live by 45 members of a group on a social network.
Alonso stated that the torture and death of the young women aimed to “strengthen the leadership” of the leader of the criminal group dedicated to drug trafficking, “which goes beyond the borders of Argentina.”
The three victims, one of whom was the mother of a baby, lived in a neighborhood cared away on the outskirts of the Argentine capital.
On Saturday, thousands of people spoke in Buenos Aires to demand justice after the triple murder that shocked the country.
“It was a narcofeminicide!” And “our lives are not disposable!” The march was summoned by the influential organization “NI UNA Less”, which fights against gender violence.
