Overview
- Gender and Family Violence Prosecutor’s Office, Second Turn, led by Gerardo Reyes, imposed preventive detention as Laurta is accused of aggravated homicide of Luna Giardina and Mariel Zamudio and of home invasion.
- Laurta remains held at the Cruz del Eje prison while the Córdoba case stays in the investigative phase with forensic work and witness statements ongoing.
- Separately, Entre Ríos authorities maintain a 120‑day preventive detention in the probe of driver Matías (Martín) Sebastián Palacio, with newly recovered human remains undergoing analysis.
- Laurta was captured on October 12 in a Gualeguaychú hotel after a joint Córdoba–Entre Ríos operation, and the five‑year‑old child found with him was recovered in good health.
- The child is under the care of a known family, and investigators in Córdoba are assessing prior complaints, a restraining order, and a panic button as part of the case context.
