Córdoba Woman Detained After Police Find Daughter’s Body Hidden Under Bed

Overview

  • Neighbors in Villa Rumipal alerted police after days without seeing the 22-year-old and noticing a strong, nauseating odor.
  • When officers questioned the 64-year-old mother, she said her daughter was lying on her bed; the semi-nude body was found under the bed in advanced decomposition.
  • Prosecutor Paula Bruera reported a preliminary cause of death of cardiorespiratory arrest, with circumstances still under investigation.
  • Judicial authorities preserved the scene and initiated forensic examinations, and the mother was detained preventively pending psychological and psychiatric assessments.
  • Local media cited initial estimates that death occurred five to six days before discovery, a timeline investigators are working to confirm.
