Córdoba Double-Femicide Suspect Now Probed in Driver’s Likely Killing as Transfer for Hearing Is Set

Investigators describe a premeditated escape that included a clandestine kayak crossing from Uruguay, pointing to evidence tying him to a body found near Puerto Yeruá.

Overview

  • Pablo Rodríguez Laurta remains detained in Entre Ríos after his arrest in Gualeguaychú, and his rescued child is in state care while courts evaluate family placement.
  • Entre Ríos authorities report a high likelihood that a mutilated body found near the Yeruá stream is driver Martín Sebastián Palacios, with identification pending through DNA and tattoo analysis.
  • Prosecutors plan to move Laurta to Concordia to be questioned in the Palacios homicide and then remit him to Córdoba to face the double-femicide case.
  • Police say the suspect trained for ten days with a kayak in Salto to cross the river unlawfully and later intended to return the same way with his son.
  • Investigators seized a Bersa .380 pistol registered to Laurta, multiple phones and cash, and found Palacios’s wallet in the suspect’s hotel room; ballistic tests are pending.
