Córdoba Prosecutor Sends Case Against Pablo Laurta to Oral Trial in Double Femicide

The decision advances the Córdoba prosecution, with a separate Entre Ríos homicide investigation still open.

Overview

  • The Córdoba Public Prosecutor’s Office said fiscal Gerardo Reyes ordered the case elevated to an oral and public trial.
  • Pablo Laurta remains in preventive detention at the Cruz del Eje prison on charges including aggravated homicide by relationship, alevosía and gender-based violence, plus threats, home invasion and disobedience.
  • Investigators report he entered his ex-partner’s home on October 11, fatally shot Luna Giardina and Mariel Zamudio, then fled with his 5-year-old son.
  • He was arrested on October 12 at a hotel in Gualeguaychú, Entre Ríos, and the child was recovered safely.
  • In a parallel case, Entre Ríos authorities accuse him of killing remisero Martín Sebastián Palacio, citing security-camera evidence tracing his route and noting the victim’s car later appeared burned in Córdoba.
