Overview

  • Hotel staff discovered the bodies in the bathtub of room 306 at the Ker Recoleta after the guests failed to check out around midday on January 16.
  • Investigators seized a scalpel from a soap dish and two insulin syringes at the scene, which remain under analysis.
  • Preliminary findings cite signs of possible submersion in the child and 13 vital incised wounds on the mother’s body, reportedly consistent with self‑inflicted injuries.
  • The case is being handled by Fiscalía Criminal y Correccional No. 59 under Laura Belloqui, who is investigating a likely filicide followed by suicide and working to reconstruct the final hours.
  • The pair had been reported missing from their home in González Catán on January 15 and checked into the hotel that evening; there were no signs of forced entry, and the father later identified the bodies at the judicial morgue.
