Overview

• The victims were identified as Myriam Adriana Velázquez, 52, and her daughter Mariana Belén Bustos, 25, found burned inside their home on Santa Fe 2300 in Barrio Thompson.
• Investigators reported traces of gasoline in the residence and found a motorcycle inside with its fuel-tank cap removed, a detail that has led them to examine intentional ignition.
• Neighbors said they heard two detonations around 22:30 and later saw a motorcyclist leave the property, with one witness mentioning a red bike and a camera that recorded the sound.
• Relatives and neighbors told reporters that an acquaintance known as “Diego,” recently seen with Velázquez and associated with a motorcycle, was observed entering and leaving the house.
• The case is being handled by Fiscalía N°5 under prosecutor Jorge Viego as a death inquiry, with autopsies and other forensic work pending and no arrests reported so far.
