Businessman Buys Tea Set Linked to Yiya Murano’s 1979 Poisonings in Private Deal

The notary-executed transfer follows a 2023 auction that never closed despite bids reported up to $10,000.

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.
