Overview
- The transaction was completed at a notary’s office between buyer José Perrucio of Comodoro Rivadavia and seller Martín Murano, Yiya Murano’s son.
- The set is identified as the one used in the cyanide killings of three women in 1979; Murano was detained that year and convicted in 1985.
- Martín Murano had previously offered the set at a 2023 public auction and said proceeds would support a street animal rescue group, but the sale did not finalize.
- Perrucio is also known for buying a Mercedes-Benz once owned by Susana Giménez that was entangled in a 1990s import-fraud controversy.
- Renewed interest in the case follows the recent release of a TV series about Murano, and the price of the private sale was not disclosed.
