translated from Spanish: Moreno: 85-year-old woman stabbed to death

An 85-year-old woman was stabbed to death and covered with sheets and blankets in the matrimonial room of her home in Moreno’s Buenos Aires district, and her husband was arrested on charges of “aggravated homicide by the bond.” The man had previously told his son that both had been attacked by criminals who entered the property, but police later detected inconsistencies in his account. Police spokesmen told the News Agency Telam that officers from the 8th precinct. de Las Catonas went to the scene after a call from a man who warned about the murder of his mother. The officers met with the complainant, who found his mother murdered with several stitches to the chest, bloodied, lying on the floor of the marriage room and covered with sheets and blankets. The same man told them that his father, Segundo Anastacio Acevedo, 88, told him that several assailants had entered the house during the night and had beaten them both, but he responded evasively to his questions about the attack. According to the couple’s son, his father used to rams around in his comments due to his advanced age, as well as mentioning that he was always with his mother throughout the day. After the officers found the presence of the body of the elderly woman, personnel of the Functional Unit of Instruction (UFI) 4 of the Judicial Department of Moreno-General Rodríguez went to the scene of the crime along with experts from the Scientific Police.Likewise, a police doctor corroborated the death of the woman and established a death date of between five and eight hours. While the body had several stab wounds, an autopsy operation was awaited to determine the number of stab wounds he received. Meanwhile, the experts who worked in the house did not observe with the naked eye the lack of valuables or disorder in the farm, while they seized a blade that was on the light table of the matrimonial room. They also seized the trousers and slippers worn by the victim’s husband, as they were stained with blood. In this way, and with the evidence collected, prosecutor Federico Soñora, in charge of the UFI 4 of Moreno-General Rodríguez, ordered the arrest of Acevedo, who was charged with the crime of “homicide aggravated by the link.”
