"The latest suspect is the niece of a man arrested last week on suspicion of giving logistical support to the killings. The uncle, who was arrested in Bolivia after fleeing Argentina, is accused of driving a car that escorted the van taking the three victims to the house where they were executed. Security camera footage identifies the woman with her uncle inside the car that night, according to Spanish news agency EFE."
"The young women had been missing for five days after being lured into a van believing they were going to a party. Their torture and killing, which investigators tied to drug gangs, was allegedly livestreamed on Instagram and watched by 45 members of a private account, officials said. It was meant to "punish" them for breaking gang rules and send a "warning" message to the rest of the gang, according to investigators."
A 30-year-old woman was arrested as she left a TV station after denying involvement in a triple homicide. She is the niece of a man detained in Bolivia accused of escorting the van that took the victims, and security camera footage places them together that night. The bodies of Morena Verdi (20), Brenda del Castillo (20) and 15-year-old Lara Gutierrez were found buried in a Buenos Aires suburb after the women were lured into a van. Investigators linked the torture and killing to drug gangs and say the violence was allegedly livestreamed to a private Instagram account watched by 45 people. Seven suspects have been arrested and warrants issued for additional alleged organizers. The killings spurred large protests in Buenos Aires.
