translated from Spanish: The sister of Luciana Sequeira, the young woman murdered in Santiago del Estero, spoke: “They tortured her, this was a femicide, not a rape”

The sister of Luciana Sequeira, the 17-year-old girl who was abused and murdered in a hotel in Santiago del Estero, said her sister was “tortured” and that it was “a femicide, not a rape.” Yolanda, the victim’s sister, told La Nacion that her parents are devastated and that the family is wary of police actions, since the father of the main accused and the only one arrested is an officer of the force.

“The boy is a minor and the son of a policeman. That is why we are asking for justice, for this not to come to nothing and for the accused to go to a juvenile correctional facility. We never knew she had a boyfriend or anything. Her friends are the ones who saw the suspect, they say she was messaging with him on WhatsApp,” the girl’s sister said. For that reason, the father of the young woman made a new complaint: “As we were afraid that the case would not move forward, since it was the son of a policeman, my mother and my brother made another complaint in the 3rd Police Station of the city of Santiago del Estero”, explained Yolanda.El femicidio
Luciana was found unconscious on Monday in a hotel room in Villa Atamisqui. He died last Thursday after long hours of agony from injuries sustained in the brutal sexual assault.” The doctors told us that she had cuts in her vagina, that they burned her, they don’t know if with a cigarette or with a lighter and that she had signs of blows,” Yolanda explained. He added that “from the beginning we were told that she had no hope of life, that only a miracle could save her.”

The last person who saw Luciana alive was her cousin, who told her that she was going to make some photocopies for school. Two hours later, her parents received a call from the hospital of Villa Atamisqui informing them that their daughter was very delicate and that they had to refer her to the Regional Hospital.The owner of the hotel had stated on Monday afternoon that he saw the Luciana and his companion entering the place and asked for a room. An hour later, the boy retired alone. Following her suspicious departure, the shelter staff went to the room and found the young woman bloodied.

Luciana had tested positive for coronavirus, so at first it transpired that this had been the cause of death. This version was quickly debunked by the serious injuries found at the autopsy.” My parents are heartbroken, they don’t get to understand what happened. You can’t imagine what my sister was like, a much-loved, super-studious girl who loved playing football,” the victim’s sister said.
