"Clashes have erupted between demonstrators and police as thousands protested in Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires, to demand justice over the torture and killing of two young women and a teenager, which was livestreamed on social media by a purported drug gang. Thousands of protesters took to the streets on Saturday to denounce the killings that shocked Argentinians after it was revealed that the murders were perpetrated live on the Instagram platform and watched by 45 members of a private account, officials said."
"The bodies of Morena Verdi and Brenda del Castillo, cousins aged 20, and 15-year-old Lara Gutierrez were found buried on Wednesday in the yard of a house in a southern suburb of Buenos Aires, five days after they went missing. Investigators said the victims, thinking they were going to a party, were lured into a van on September 19, allegedly as part of a plan to punish them for violating gang code and to serve as a warning to others."

The bodies of Morena Verdi, Brenda del Castillo and Lara Gutierrez were found buried in a suburban yard five days after they went missing. Investigators say the victims were lured into a van on September 19, allegedly to punish them for violating a gang code. Police discovered video evidence after a suspect revealed it during questioning. Reports indicate torturers inflicted extreme mutilations and a gang leader framed the killings as punishment for stealing drugs. Some protesters clashed with police who used batons and shields.
