Cecilia Strzyzowski Trial Enters Final Arguments as Jury Poised to Decide Friday

Prosecutors argue material, testimonial and technological evidence can prove the femicide despite the absence of the victim’s body.

Overview

  • Seven defendants linked to the Sena family network are on trial in Resistencia over the June 2023 killing of Strzyzowski, whose remains have not been found.
  • Closing arguments are being presented Thursday, with the 12-member popular jury expected to deliver verdicts on Friday.
  • Five defendants testified for the first time — Marcela Acuña, Emerenciano Sena, Fabiana González, Griselda Reinoso and Gustavo Melgarejo — while César Sena and Gustavo Obregón declined.
  • Melgarejo told the court he saw traces of fire on the Sena property and said César Sena and Obregón asked him for a shovel.
  • Testifying as a primary participant, Acuña sought to clear her ex-partner Emerenciano and directly accused her son, César, as responsible, as defenses press the argument that no body means no crime.
