"Police in Peru have arrested the main suspect of the livestreamed torture and killing of two young women and a girl in Buenos Aires, bringing the total number of arrests to nine, according to the Argentinian government. In a statement posted on X late on Tuesday, Argentinian Security Minister Patricia Bullrich thanked the Peruvian authorities for detaining two people in connection with the femicide that has shocked Argentina since it was uncovered last week."
"Last Wednesday, the bodies of 20-year-old cousins Morena Verdi and Brenda del Castillo, and 15-year-old Lara Gutierrez were discovered buried in the garden of a house in the southern suburbs of Argentina's capital. They had gone missing five days earlier. Buenos Aires Security Minister Javier Alonso said the trio were tortured and murdered on a closed social media group of 45 users, adding that the video was intended as a warning over an alleged drug theft."
Nine people have been detained after the murders of Morena Verdi (20), Brenda del Castillo (20), and Lara Gutierrez (15). The main suspect, known as Little J, a Peruvian national about 20 years old, was arrested roughly 72 kilometres south of Lima; Matias Ozorio was also detained in Peru. The victims were found buried in a garden in southern Buenos Aires after going missing five days earlier. Officials reported the trio were tortured and murdered on a closed social media group of 45 users and that the video was intended as a warning over an alleged drug theft. Thousands protested in Buenos Aires demanding justice and action against narco influence. Leonel del Castillo said women must be protected more than ever.
